Utopia - Episode Guide

When five strangers from an online comic book forum agree to meet after gaining possession of the original manuscript for the cult graphic novel 'The Utopia Experiments', they find themselves pursued by a shadowy organisation known as The Network who are in pursuit of the manuscript - and they are prepared to kill to track it down.

Unable to ever return to their old lives, Ian and Becky are forced to face the terrifying reality of life on the run. Meanwhile, Dugdale is drawn deeper and deeper into a plot that threatens to have fatal consequences.

The gang feel the full weight of The Network's power as Grant is framed for a shocking crime. With nowhere else to turn, they are forced to make a new ally - but can she really be trusted?

Hidden away in a derelict manor house, the group attempt to decipher the secret meaning of the manuscript. But will uncovering the identity of Mr Rabbit really allow them to return to their former lives?

The gang's attempt to disrupt The Network's plans backfires leaving one of them in danger. Arby's confession to Jessica has damaging repercussions while Becky is left with an impossible choice.

Time is running out, the gang must find Mr Rabbit and stop The Network before they release Janus. As a daring plan is formed, only one question remains - will the true secrets of Utopia finally be revealed?

We learn about the 1970's and the origins of the Janus virus, how it is created and the early connections between Philip Carver and Milner. The childhood lives of Jessica and Arby are heavily expanded upon as we learn about Arby's very early years and the way Jessica comes to essentially become Janus.

Jessica Hyde is interrogated about the alteration in Janus whilst held captive. Arby is asked to leave his newly found life to continue working for the network. Ian and Grant try to get back in contact with Becky.

The group meet up with a hacker known by Arby after previously fleeing. Jessica tries to escape captivity. Lee and Wilson Wilson are suggested to work together. Dugdale is forced into even more comprimising scenarios as he is required to promote V-day.

Ian searches for Dugdale and reunites with Jessica as Ian has mixed feelings towards Jessica and Becky. An interpreter is hired to speak with Carvel to see if the group can discern anything that he is saying. Wilson continues to work with the network in even more morally comprimising situations.

Arby, Carvel and Lee flee the scene of the previous episode whist Becky and Ian are left to pick up the pieces. Jessica continues to interrogate and keep Milner captive. We finally get some answers about the adjustment made to Janus.

After Milner's death the group try to search down how/where Janus will be released and by whom out of 1 of 3 people that only Milner knew. Dugdale's family has domestic issues with Grant. Some of the group members have trouble working together due to past issues and Arby is kept in intensive care.
