VANCOUVER, CANADA: Hulu's true crime drama series, 'Under the Bridge,' is getting more intense with each new episode, drawing viewers deeper into its intricate web of mysteries and revelations.
'Under the Bridge' Episode 4, titled 'Beautiful British Columbia,' explores Reena Virk's (Vritika Gupta) past life before her tragic death.
This episode sheds light on the treatment Reena endured from the Seven Oaks girls before her murder, revealing the dynamics of their relationships.
Let's discuss the events of 'Under the Bridge' Episode 4.
Reena Virk faces intense criticism from the Seven Oaks girls in Episode 4
Through flashbacks and memories, 'Under the Bridge' Episode 4 vividly depicts Reena's past, shedding light on her relationships with the Seven Oaks girls.
It depicts how they bully her and repeatedly criticize her for her actions. Josephine Bell (Chloe Guidry) and Kelly Ellard (Izzy G) particularly make it tough for Reena to integrate into the group.
To improve their relationship and possibly gain acceptance, Reena extends an invitation to Josephine, Kelly, and Dusty Pace (Aiyana Goodfellow) to visit her home.
She hopes that by welcoming them into her personal space, she can bridge the gap between them.
However, Kelly steals Reena's mother's gold earrings. Meanwhile, at the dining table, tensions escalate as Josephine not only insults Manjit but also abruptly leaves the house.
Reena's reaction is unexpected; rather than directing her anger at Josephine, she directs it towards her father. Reena's behavior showcases her willingness to do anything to fit in with Josephine's group.
When Reena's mother confronts her about the missing gold earrings, Reena adamantly refuses to believe it, even though deep down she knows that the Seven Oaks girls are capable of such things.
This highlights that Reena is willing to overlook the truth to maintain her place in the group.
When Josephine tells her to 'be a gangster,' Reena goes as far as to falsely accuse her father of molesting her. Josephine's motivations, whether for revenge or amusement, may have driven her actions.
However, for Reena's parents, the consequences of these actions can be devastating.
Despite Kelly and Josephine's disdain for Reena, she persists in her efforts to fit in. However, her endeavors are hindered consistently due to Josephine and Kelly's bullying nature.
Can Reena Virk live happily at Seven Oaks?
In the last scene of 'Under the Bridge' Episode 4, Manjit is arrested after Reena files a false complaint against him, accusing him of misconduct.
Reena's motive behind the false complaint may have been to escape her home and reside with Josephine, Kelly, and Dusty in Seven Oaks.
However, considering Kelly and Josephine's hostile nature, it's doubtful that Reena would live happily in Seven Oaks.
In Seven Oaks home, they will face each other all the time, increasing the likelihood of Josephine and Kelly bullying Reena.
Reena's habit of following Josephine's lead suggests that, under her influence, Reena could end up committing serious crimes too.
The constant presence of Josephine and Kelly in Seven Oaks makes it easier for them to target Reena and make her feel isolated and uncomfortable.
After facing hardships, Reena may come to realize the importance of her family and acknowledge that she was wrong for falsely accusing her father.
Josephine and Kelly's relentless bullying may eventually compel Reena to leave Seven Oaks and return to her parent's house. Reena may also decide to withdraw the case against her father and apologize to her parents.
Even after departing from Seven Oaks, Reena may continue to endure bullying from Josephine and Kelly because she decided to leave the place.
Will Reena's experiences at Seven Oaks change her perspective on life? Only time will tell.
