Cade Taylor Previews

Colman and Lorna are on a hunt for the truth on The Woman in the Wall Season 1 Episode 5, “Ex Gratia.”

In the season’s penultimate episode, our two main characters are finally pairing up instead of being at odds with one another. 

After a shell-shocking revelation at the end of The Woman in the Wall Season 1 Episode 4, “The Cruelty Man,” Lorna’s faith that her daughter could still be alive is at a new high. Based on the promo video below, she and Colman will find themselves down a House of Sacred Shepard rabbit hole, uncovering hidden secrets unbeknownst to their wildest imaginations.

Meanwhile, with Massey finally on the right side, it seems we’ll see him diving deep into Lorna’s case to help her finally crack the decades-long mystery of the convent.
