The Rig Season 1: From the wild mystery of what is going on with this unexplained fog to what transpired behind the scenes on these rigs, the series’ first five episodes have been a whirlwind for The Rig. The season finale of David Macpherson’s show, which features Emily Hampshire (Schitt’s Creek) and Iain Glen, will hopefully provide some answers to the many issues raised during the season (Game of Thrones). OK, so let’s start at the beginning.
The Rig Season 1 Recap
The episode opens on The Kinloch Charlie Rig two days earlier, when we see Coake with a bunch of individuals trying to make things happen. But the strain is too much, and we watch as the entire rig burns to the ground. As soon as the opening credits roll, Magnus turns to Harish and asks what we can learn from this occurrence in the present day. Coake is next to be questioned by Magnus. Then, naturally, he adds that they have failed to stop this “experiment.” And then Coake tells him he has to make unpopular decisions regardless of how much support they get from the general public.
Coake continues the discussion by stating that they must immediately terminate the trial. Magnus is concerned about the fate of his people, and Coake reveals that not everyone will make it. Almost immediately after, Magnus shows Coake’s plot to Rose, but she refuses to accept that they can “kill it.” Then she says that she and Fulmer are trying to devise another plan. However, Magnus urges her to speed up her efforts because time is of the essence.
We follow Rose and Fulmer inside the lab, where she attempts to explain the logic behind the weird fog. She explains how their actions have only served to enrage it further. But Magnus warned them they could all perish if they didn’t listen to Coake. After realising he needs help to stop this and save his crew, Magnus travels to see Coake. He claimed to be the only one capable of accomplishing this. Coake pulls out his phone shortly after accepting, and the screen reads, “Cirein Mission Time Elapsed. The Emergency Procedures Have Been Put Into Effect.
Magnus goes to the ship’s company to announce that they will adhere to Coake’s strategy. When told this, Rose immediately panics and declares it an evil plan. She claimed his intentions were identical to those that resulted in the deaths of nearly everyone on the Charlie rig. Magnus is persuaded to try Rose’s proposal to communicate with the creature. Coake then has it out with Harish for abandoning the ship and hopping into a lifeboat without helping anyone. Not knowing what else to say, Harish follows Coake to find out how he plans to return after being left behind.
Coake, however, claims that help is on the way in the form of a helicopter and that he and his companion can fit inside. Harish isn’t thrilled with the plan (it’s the same as Charlie’s), but Coake encourages him to do what he’s told because he doesn’t mind abandoning people. In his moment of doubt, Harish activates the shipwide intercom so that everyone can listen in on their conversation. When woThe rig begins to shake as if an earthquake were occurring. rd got out about what Coake had in mind, the rest of the team understood they had to take action. The ri the three heroes set out to save Baz. Rose thinks capturing him gives them an opportunity to halt the unfolding events. Hutton makes the call as the chopper touches down, directing as many people as possible to the first one. Hutton then confronts Coake right before the helicopter is set to land, intending to hurl him into the water. Hutton then socked Coake square in the mouth to get his attention, and the rest of the crew intervened.
The Rig Season 1 Ending Explain
Now we return to Baz, who has been drawn into this world and suggests that they express their willingness to sacrifice by exchanging a life for another (the phrase “a life for a life”). Thus, Baz remains while the other three escape. It’s a mad dash to the landing pad, and time is of the essence. The chopper escapes the area only in the nick of time before the oncoming fog destroys the rig. Coake announces the helicopter that they will not be returning to the rig. No one can believe this has happened; it will result in the deaths of thousands of people.
So there were some ups and downs for The Rig, but they stuck the landing with this one. Excellent writing keeps you guessing till the very last page. While most series tend to have a happy ending, I appreciated that this didn’t. Also, it sets up season two of the programme nicely. Yet it concludes in such a way that even if it lasts for only a single season, you will feel fulfilled.
