Ugly Truths are Revealed in the Second Half of 'The Jetty'

The third episode of The Jetty picks up with Riz’s autopsy. “The chances of being murdered are small. But the shadow cast by its threat is so vast that we don’t even know we are living in it. My name is Riz Samuel, and I chase the darkness for a living,” Riz intones as the coroner examines her body.

We quickly learn there are two sides to Mack. There’s the guy who was utterly in love with Ember and turned his life around for her; however, he’s the same Mack who was seeing Amy when he met Ember, the Mack who didn’t come to Ember’s birthday party due to “work,” but what he was doing was having sex with Amy one last time. Ember’s been wrestling with how young and vulnerable she was when Mack came into her life (and how little she knew about him) when she discovers Hannah’s boyfriend spread inappropriate pictures of her around, and now they are everywhere.

Back in the past, Amy tells Kitty that she wants her to have sex with Mack’s brother, Joe (Ryan Dean), simultaneously as she and Mack do, so they can both lose their virginity at the same time. However, before they can start this odd foursome, Kitty finds out it isn’t the first time Amy and Mack have had sex and leaves the boathouse in tears. Amy follows her, and Kitty (utterly in love with Amy) tells her she has to end her relationship with Mack or she will go to the police about it.
