'We Hunt Together' Episode 5 Preview: Is Baba unwittingly setting himself up to be Freddy's next victim?
After three long weeks of going on a manipulative murderous rampage, femme fatale Freddy Lane (Hermione Corfield), who is actually Lily Jenkins, finally rested for a bit in the previous Episode 4 of 'We Hunt Together'. Taking her new boy toy Baba (Dipo Ola) on a trip down her twisted memory lane, Freddy revealed the reason she spent five years in juvenile detention and her real name along with the reason she took it up.
The disturbing past aside, it's shocking how hard Baba is wrapped around her finger. And by the looks of it, he is less than inches away from being forced to take the fall for what he thinks is love.
With Showtime having released two official teasers for the upcoming Episode 5, things get clearer for what's to come on Freddy and Baba's journey. DI Jackson Fendy (Babou Ceesay) and his partner DS Lola Franks (Eve Myles) are interrogating once again and this time they arrive at the door of a middle-aged man, asking about his connection to Freddy Lane.
The man reveals he knows Freddy through Baba, his new tenant and that gives the detectives reason enough to connect Baba as a possible accomplice.
In the previous episode, Jackson had already shown up at Baba's workplace to randomly question him about Matt and Simon's fight and a possible third party intervening. He had taken Baba's name and quietly walked away, but there was something too fishy that Jackson wasn't possibly letting on. That leads us to believe this new interrogation was purely to check if Baba and Freddy are connected at all.
While the two violent maniacs are off to Freddy's old school, planning on exacting revenge on her old headmaster for causing her childhood best friend's suicide, Baba does express some hesitation in killing another man. But Freddy quietens him assuring they will only scare him a little.
That "little" is in fact a gross understatement of what Freddy seems to have in store as another teaser reveals her confronting the headmaster and telling him about her name change in what can be expected to be his final moments. A very reluctant Baba might have once again caved into Freddy's manipulation and with the police knowing their connection, it's not long before he goes down as yet another pawn.
Something tells us Freddy might be the one to strike the final blow on Baba, especially with the way he confronts her at the end of the trailer. Lola can be seen giving Freddy a call and the scene cuts to that of Baba telling her now they need to run. Knowing Freddy, she will get any loose ends out of the way be it the man she thinks she loves. And if Baba becomes any more of a hassle on her journey of vengeance, she just might take him out.
'We Hunt Together' airs on Sundays at 10 pm on Showtime.
