Water off a Duck's Back

**Water off a Duck's Back** is the sixth and final episode of the first series.

## Plot

### Flashback

Pippa texts a contact named 'O' saying that she has they have enough proof of what is happening onboard the Sacramentum, and slips into bed with a sleeping Sam, who was actually still awake.

### Present Day

As the rest of the Whales watch Pat and Phil kill Leila, Henry explains to Jamie and Olly that first class passengers pay to kill staff and crew on board the ship for their own pleasure. He confirms that Sam, whilst wearing the Quacky costume, killed both Pippa and Danny; Pippa for finding out the truth, and Danny on the assumption that Pippa told him what was happening, albeit his body was suppose to be thrown overboard.

After Henry kills Sam, much to Karen's horror, Beaker and another officer escort Jamie and Olly to the kitchen freezer, where Beaker threatens to impale Olly with a meat hook unless Jamie reveals who else he told about the killings. Rosie and Cormac show up at the right time and fight away Beaker and the other officer.

In the kitchen, Cormac undoes Jamie and Olly's bindings just as the ship comes to a stop. With no other way to save Vivian, Jamie decides to enlist the help of the ship's staff and crew. The gang enter the Trough as Jamie interrupts their party and explains everything. At first they don't listen but then Jamie states the names of those who either 'disappeared' or 'jumped' and that Vivian could be next unless they work together. One-by-one they all stand together.

The crew make their way to the service lift on the I-95, but a metal shutter comes down trapping them as all the officers show up. Karen orders them to disperse but they resist until Beaker tosses a smoke grenade through the shutter. Most of the crew run off, including Olly, but when the smoke fades he returns with the Mafia in tow. The Baby starts cutting through the shutter with an industrial saw but knowing it will take him too long Jamie re-enters the secret corridors and orders the others to get to the bridge and call for help. Karen returns to the security room and orders Henry to evacuate the ship. Henry refuses calling her inept and promotes Beaker to first officer.

All the while, Vivian is in the hold until she is taken to the kill floors where she is tied up to a bed. Lily shows up and while astride Vivian explains how she always wanted her 'first time' to be special. She cuts the ropes tying Vivian and orders her to to fight as she powers up a chainsaw. Jamie comes Karen in the hold, and realising she and the officers are just as disposable as the rest of the crew, let's Jamie through to the kill floors to save Vivian. Jamie finds her just as Lily is about to kill her, but Vivian pushes the chainsaw away as the blade slices through Lily's face, killing her. The Whales watch on in the lounge as Lily's mum Abigail screams in horror.

Jamie and Vivian leave the kill floors and end up being confronted by Henry and the Whales in the first class lounge. They corner the pair but the crew show up in time as Cormac orders the passengers to stand down as the police are on their way. Beaker shows up and order the crew to do the same but gets shot in the shoulder with an arrow by Lauren. The Whales eventually stand down once the Baby powers up his industrial saw.

As Karen sneaks off to the life boats in the Quacky costume, the crew watch over the Whales awaiting the police. Jamie joins Vivian on the side deck and the pair vow to take down Velorum. As the police helicopters arrive, a hooded figure on a nearby fishing boat takes some photos of the Sacramentum. They remove their hood revealing themselves as Pippa; still alive and well. She tells the captain they need to leave as she keeps her eyes on the ship.
