But we only heard that tragic ending secondhand.

Both Hannah and Jamie do their best to help Jessel move on.

But their well-intentioned support isnt enough to drown out the voice of Peter Quint in her ear.

This is a truly horrifying scene that casts much of what weve seen inBly Manorin a very different light.

So before that can happen to them, Quint has a plan: Take over Miles and Floras bodies.

As the gagged and horrified Dani looks on, Flora agrees to let Jessel take over her.

But Miles, whos slightly older and warier, needs a little more convincing.

Nothing sad will ever touch you ever again, he says.

You just get your mom and your dad.

A safe place with two people who will love you so much.

That makes you the luckiest man in the world.

I wish I could be that rich.

In the memory, Quints mom has arrived unannounced.

Shes been released from some kind of unspecified treatment center, and shes looking for money.

And when Dani asks after Miles, Jessel confides that hes already gone for good.

In the end, this struggle may come down the wild cards anyway.

So who is she, and why have Miles and Flora been exempt from her judgment?

But thats not true, right?

As a ghost, Hannah can talk to (or possess!)

Its disturbing to see how Quint twists the conventional language of love to suit his own purposes.

When he talks about sharing a life with Rebecca, he really means stealing hers.

Quints mom is played by Lizzy McInnerny.

You might have seen her recently inThe Crown, where she played Elizabeths nanny and confidante Bobo MacDonald.

Its like Im in hell.

Well… Where else would you go?
