Any new characters?

Yes! After we met new faces like Dr Athena Morrow (Carrie-Anne Moss), Ed (Sam Palladio) and others last week, this week's episode introduces us to synth impersonator Renie (Letitia Wright) and Diane Hooley (Anastasia Hille), a woman suffering from dementia.

Episode two also sees the return of some series one stars, with Will Tudor and Ruth Bradley's synths Odi and Karen/Beatrice back in action alongside Neil Maskell's police detective Pete, all of them absent from last week's episode.
