Grace returns with a shocking twist on itv

ITV's popular crime drama Grace made its long-awaited comeback for its sixth season last night, delivering a gripping premiere that keptviewers on the edge of their seats.

Eden's deception unravels

The episode kicked off with the disappearance of Eden (played by Tamla Kari), whose husband Neel (Rishi Nair) reported her missing. As Detective Roy Grace (John Simm) and his partner Branson (Richie Campbell) dug deeper, they uncovered a web of deceit that ultimately exposed Eden's clever plan to fake her own death.

Throughout the episode, the duo's investigation was riddled with subtle clues that hinted at Eden's true intentions. From her suspicious conversation with Rebecca (Hannah McClean) at the start to her constant stomach clutching, it became clear that Eden was more than just a missing person.

As Grace and Branson pieced together the pieces, they realized Neel was not the culprit they initially suspected. Instead, Neel's abusive nature and mysterious first wife's death led them to believe he had brutally murdered Eden. However, just as they thought they had solved the case, the truth came to light - Eden had masterfully orchestrated her own disappearance to escape Neel's violence, aided by Rebecca and Neel's son.

Eden's escape plan led her to develop a relationship with Neel's brother Devan (Gurjeet Singh), and the two are now expecting a child together. Their attempt to flee Brighton on a boat ended in a violent confrontation with Neel, who was ultimately defeated by Eden using a boat hook.

Grace's return delivers a thrilling ride that promises more complex cases and character developments in the forthcoming episodes. Fans can look forward to the next installment next Sunday on ITV1 and ITVX.
