Episode 2 takes a dramatic turn when Josephine Bell (Chloe Guidry) reveals her secret to Rebecca Godfrey (Riley Keough), under the condition that Rebecca takes her to New York and portrays her as the central figure in the book.

Josephine, aware that Rebecca is writing a book, sees this as an opportunity to become famous. She tells Rebecca about pushing Reena into the Gorge Waterway, confident that Rebecca will keep her secret guarded.

Josephine disclosed to Rebecca how she and her friends repeatedly beat Reena, directing their blows on her stomach and ultimately breaking her tooth.

This shocking disclosure reveals the severity of the violence Reena endured, offering a disturbing insight into the events leading up to her disappearance.

It appears that Rebecca will share this information with the police due to its involvement in a crime. Rebecca might feel compelled to seek justice for Reena because what she experienced was nothing short of torture.

The brutal beating and mistreatment Reena endured at the hands of Josephine and her friends are clear indications of the heinous nature of the crime.

Rebecca might decide to report the information to the authorities, allowing them to investigate the matter further and take appropriate action against Josephine and her friends.

In 'Under the Bridge' Episode 2, the authorities finally discover Reena's lifeless body in the water. The revelation of Reena's body shocks everyone, including Josephine.

The discovery of Reena's body in the water raises questions about how she ended up there and the events leading up to her death. It appears that Reena may have died by drowning in the water, possibly due to being unable to move as a result of her injuries.

It is confirmed that Josephine and her friends brutally assaulted Reena, and when everyone else had left, Josephine returned to continue beating Reena and ultimately pushed her into the water.

This suggests that Josephine's actions directly resulted in Reena's untimely death, holding her accountable for this heinous crime.

In the upcoming episode, it is anticipated that the authorities will begin their investigation into Reena's death, focusing on Josephine and her friends as the primary suspects.

They will likely gather evidence, interview witnesses, and piece together the events leading up to Reena's death. Given the severity of the crime, the authorities may arrest Josephine and her friends.
