The Bay Season 5 Episode 4: Family Ties and Fatal Lies (DVD Rip Review)

The Cold Open: A Mother’s Reckoning We pick up exactly where Episode 3 left off. Karen (Maryam Cneajna) is standing in the rain, staring at the cryptic text message on her phone: “He knows about the baby.” The camera lingers just long enough to make your skin crawl.
