CW: Violence, child abuse descriptions. Previously on Mockery Manor: JJ hatches a plan to help Bette escape the park and evade the police, after learning that she has killed Norton. Bette reveals that she is familiar with the park's underground tunnels, and they decide to hide there until nightfall.

After their arguing comes to a head, Bette storms off, leaving JJ alone and lost. While wandering the tunnels, JJ meets Dorothy: her grandmother. Dorothy leads JJ to Dreamland, where Margot has created disturbing tableaux of her own life story. JJ learns that the woman posing as Margot Mockery is none other than her namesake aunt Kate - previously thought to be dead - and that the real Margot had died in the 1948 fire instead. The penniless Dorothy had seen an opportunity for her daughter, and made the switch. However, mere moments after revealing this, Dorothy is stabbed to death before JJ's eyes...

JJ reveals that she arrived to drop off the painting in a Tokyo apartment to find her contact dead, and Russian gangster Bodhanko waiting to kill her, only narrowly escaping herself. Broke as they are, the twins agree they have no choice but to work for Jenkins. Meanwhile, Parker realises that Matty knows nothing about Smithy, and has been toying with him. But something Matty says hits home. Why does Jenkins keep taking the law into his own hands? What kind of man would do that? Desperate to escape, Parker phones the twins and tells them he is coming to Dunkelschloss. In this episode: Bette poses as JJ to spy on Hilda, Thomaz gets roped in to help, and Margot's investigation continues...

S2 E4 - Casual Spycraft

Previously: JJ takes the scenic route to Hilda's office by riding The Elves of Europe and jumping off the boat at the Italy show scene. Using Hilda's phone, JJ contacts Dodgy Eric (her old flame, and generally an unsavoury character), and asks for his help selling her mysterious package - a stolen Vermeer painting - which he agrees to do. She is then escorted by Tomasz to her lodgings in the semi-derelict schloss at the centre of the park, which has no toilets. Meanwhile, Bette unexpectedly arrives at Mockery Manor and tells Margot, Jenkins and Parker that she has had a baby and needs a job. Jenkins presses her into spying on Hilda and the Dunkelschloss operations. Later that evening, JJ meets Gretchen sneaking around the park. They part ways at the toilets in Baba Yaga Land, but Gretchen tells JJ to be careful... She thinks there is something going on in the park. Something dangerous. JJ laughs and says "that's statistically unlikely". In this episode: Tomasz reports to Hilda, the twins are reunited in the Black Forest, and Parker starts an investigation of his own. Mockery Manor is written and directed by Lindsay Sharman. Music, sound design and editing by Laurence Owen. Hayley Evenett was JJ and Bette, Laurence Owen was Parker, Jenkins, Matty, Bodankho and additional voices, Lindsay Sharman was Hilda, Margot and The Little Mermaid, Alasdair Beckett-King was Tomasz and Danil, and Sooz Kempner was Kelly and the Prison Doctor.
