The Perfect Couple Episode 2 Recap
Episode 2 starts from inside of Nantucket Police Station where Amelia is getting her injured feet treated and she is repeating the words “It’s all my fault” and recalls the party evening where she and Merritt are sitting on the beach and Merritt expressing her concerns of losing Amelia as she is getting married.
On the other side, police are investigating the Summerland to get more clues about the case. Officer Henry goes to Mrs. Abby (performed by Dakota Fanning), Thomas’s wife, to ask a few questions about that day. In the end, Mrs. Henry congratulates Abby as she is pregnant. Then an oyster delivery arrives at the gate but cops are not allowing any outside entry so Thomas is pissed about it and asking little ease in protocols reminding the officers about the donations which his family makes to the police station fund but he gets the reply that it doesn’t work like that which further pisses him off.
Later, Amelia returns home from the police station. Everyone consoles her for her friend’s death. She says she wants to meet her parents and goes in their room and starts sobbing. Amelia’s mother is a cancer patient so she takes some meds which gets her in deep sleep. While she was sleeping, Amelia says that ‘She and Merritt had a big fight that night and now she will never get the chance to say, that she was sorry’.
Then, Henry and Carl are investigating the house when Tag Winbury enter the room. Henry asked Tag not to contaminate the crime scene where he mentions its his house to which Henry replies, its her job. Tag then asks Henry to ease the process as he feels this investigation is a little extra dramatic for an accidental drowning case. Upon this, Henry asks Carl to take Tag’s official statement. Tag says that he feels as if there was a party, she might have drunk and it was warm so must have gone towards the beach and wouldn’t realize how strong her mojito was might have drowned.

Henry says that there can be another possibility that she might be hitting with one of their son’s friends but may be she changed her mood which could have pissed the guy and in anger, he could have killed her and strangled her into the water to look like an accidental drowning.
Then in the next scene, the Winbury family is discussing releasing a press statement stating that Merritt might be on drugs due to some life pressure and committed suicide. Amelia doesn’t feel its true as Merritt had good things in life to look forward to. Then Benji comes to Amelia with a Non-disclosure agreement which Greer Garrison wants her to sign as she is a public figure and she just wants to take precautions. The next morning, the police decide to ask questions with Shooter Dival but when they arrive at his room, he is already gone. The officer informs to Carl and Henry. They rush to the ferry and stops Dival from running away.
In the next scene, Isabel Nallet (performed by Isabelle Adjani) and Thomas are making out. Their conversation shows that Isabel has also slept with Tag earlier. Then later, Greer receives a call from Broderick Graham and again she rejects it. Later at night, Amelia drives to the police station to speak to Henry and Carl without letting anyone know.
Amelia reveals that Merritt was sleeping with Mr. Tag, her fiance’s dad. When Henry asks Amelia that, if there is anything else she would like to share, then Amelia recalls the fight she had that night with Merritt. Amelia was angry with Merritt for sleeping with her father-in-law and then Merritt informs Amelia that she is pregnant which further pisses her off. At the end, we can see Greer recalling the entry of Merritt to Summerland when she notices the bracelet in her wrist and recalls ‘What the fu#k Tag’ and the episode ends there.
