She’s turning 50, andshe laments that she feels like Grace’s death was “completely avoidable.
It’s one more way the wily woman has wormed into Eva’s life.

Eva insists she doesn’t know what the money was for (“Sneaky facelift?
[You] seem to let each other into every part of your lives.”
During the conversation, Eva also mentions Grace and Ian (Owen McDonnell) meeting at a bereavement group.

The police say Ian told them they met online.
Right after the Guarda leave, a package is delivered.
Grace remembered to purchase a gift for Eva’s birthday, before she passed away.

How Do You Solve a Problem Like Angelica in ‘Bad Sisters’ Season 2 Episode 5?
The sisters meet to discuss what they’re going to do aboutAngelica’s requestto obtain Grace’s ashes.
Eva says the plan is to “give Angelica what she wants and then disengage.”
They meet with Angelica (who is still dramatically wearing a neck brace).
The good news is that Angelica’s rabbit has been found.
She adds insult to injury by insisting that Eva not be allowed to join them.
This is a low blow (especially since Eva has obviously been devastated by her sister’s death).
The new season of the Apple TV+ series improves on almost every level.

This is one area where Angelica’s meddling has not succeeded in the end.
The sisters also pick up an urn (a biscuit tin) to use for Grace’s fake ashes.
Most of the party goes off without a hitch.
After the guests have left, the four sisters sing and dance around.
Becka suddenly blurts out, “I’m pregnant!”
They notice that his house is a mess with paperwork everywhere.
He calls it “death admin.”
He explains that he met Gracein the grief groupbecause his sister had died two years ago.
Ian seems like less of a suspect now because he’s pretty forthcoming with information.
Well, that gives Loftus an idea.
He’s been battling back and forth with his ex-wife about custody of their daughter.
Loftus shows up at Ian and Grace’s house when Ian is gone.
He breaks in and starts searching for the missing money.
But he dismisses the feeling and goes about his mission.
He notices an enclosure in the backyard that housesGrace’s pet tortoises.
He digs around and finds a plastic bag hidden underneath (could this be the missing money?
).He pockets the bag and leaves before anyone can discover him.
But thenBlanaid goes missing.
We see her riding her bike to Angelica’s house, but then no one can find her.
She explains that there are people around Blanaid that she can’t trust (meaning Angelica).
Eva starts ranting about Angelica and about Grace’s money.
Eva tries to recant what she just said, saying she was “crazed with panic” and hormones.
Eva reunites with Blanaid, who is merely annoyed that her aunt has been making such a fuss.
She screams at her, “You’re not my mam.
You’re no one’s mam!”
As Eva nearly hyperventilates, Ian kisses her.
The sisters are miffed by Angelica’s speech.
Ursula says a few words about Grace and about how much they love and miss her.
But then things go from bad to worse.
Angelica states that Eva “made a play for John Paul” years ago.
The sisters are horrified by Angelica’s remarks, and they start to argue with her.
Bibi quickly jumps into action, instructing Becka to reach out for help with the radio.
They venture to move the boat around, but there’s no trace of Angelica anywhere.
Becka sees something in the water and dives in (despite being pregnant).
Bibi screams angrily, “F*ck that wagon!”
(which isIrish slang for a woman who’s not very nice).
The last shot of the episode is a close-up of the boom with a smear of blood on it.
How will the Garveys react tothis shocking twist?
Is this going to be just one more death that they struggle to hide from the police?
