Following the murder of her husband Joe Burkett, Maya Stern is given a nanny cam by her friend Eva Finn to watch over her daughter, Lily.

Meanwhile, Abby and Daniel, her niece and nephew, seek to find the truth about the murder of their mother, Claire Walker, and the possible connections between both cases.

DC Kierce is the detective overseeing the investigation of the homicide, who she contacts after Lily's nanny Izabella pepper sprays her and bolts upon seeing footage of Joe on the camera.

After Maya physically confronts her niece Abby's football coach Dawson for being harsh, her brother-in-law Eddie forbids her from seeing his kids, citing that death follows her.

Phillip Dawson's motorbike is seen in CCTV footage near the park at the time Joe was killed, so is brought in but they are only left with the vague hunch that his son could be a suspect.

Dark's wife Oona contacts Maya worried that he disappeared six weeks ago, shortly after Claire's death, but before Joe's.

Eva shows up at Maya's upset, as her ex, Robby, has managed to hack a nanny cam and got incriminating photos.

DC Kierce's AA sponsor Nicole who talked him out of jumping off a bridge also gets him to open up at a meeting and tell his fiancée Molly about his inexplicable declining health.

Corey is found, and DC Kierce gets him into a sound-proofed room, so he tells him about the Burketts' pharmaceutical company killing patients and doctoring the side-effects percentages.

Kierce finds and threatens the second biker present in the park when Joe was killed, who identifies Maya as the killer.

After listing the numerous people's deaths Joe was responsible for (Theo, Andrew, Claire and Dark) she admits to having killed him.

She secretly had Corey and Kierce livestream the incident via a nanny cam, ensuring the Burketts seal their fate.

The website's critics consensus reads, "Fool Me Once's reliance on twists might be too much a turnoff for some to check it out twice, but game performances by Michelle Keegan and Joanna Lumley ensure that there'll be no shame for those who stick around".
