*Attention: The following article reveals all the details about the finale of Unforgotten season 6, now streaming on ITVX. It also discusses a sensitive topic – domestic violence – that might be upsetting to some readers.*
Once more, Unforgotten graces our screens with its sixth season, presenting another intricate mystery to unravel. Following the familiar structure of Chris Lang’s series, this season promises yet another exhilarating journey as we delve into the complex connections between a fresh set of suspects and the murder victim they all share a past with.
In this latest development, the body believed to be Gerry Cooper has been unearthed at Whitney Marsh. It turns out that he is the long-lost spouse of history professor Juliet Cooper, portrayed by Victoria Hamilton.
One day, he suddenly disappeared, leaving Juliet puzzled as to whether shady characters from his business dealings might have been behind his untimely demise.
However, it became apparent that Gerry had been living a secretive life due to accumulated debts caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Yet, the question remains: Who was responsible for his untimely demise?
In the mystery of his initial vanishing, it was none other than Ram Sidhu from season 4, Phaldut Sharma, who expressed his suspicion that there was likely something else beyond Gerry simply disappearing one day.
And there’s plenty more gasps to be had in the final episode, where the killer is finally revealed.
However, who committed the murder? Here’s a recap of the last episode of the series Unforgotten, currently streaming on ITVX.
Unforgotten season 6 ending explained
The last episode opens with Marty (Maximilian Fairley) getting taken into custody by the police due to an alleged break-in at Juliet’s residence. However, when interrogated about his activities on the day of Gerry’s murder, Marty provides a vivid account of his actions that day, revealing he was present at a location with numerous surveillance cameras – specifically, London City Airport, where he spent time observing planes.
As a movie buff with a background in property management and running a pub, I found myself drowning in debt during the Covid-19 pandemic. Translating for one of my tenants, the Diwari family, Asif Syed (Elham Elas) was rightfully enraged when their young son tragically passed away due to the poor living conditions in one of my rentals.
Although Asif felt enraged by Gerry’s inaction and the tragic death of a child, he did not take Gerry’s life. Instead, he went to confront him at his pub; however, it was there that he found the capacity for empathy as he distributed food and clothing to the homeless. However, it became evident that Gerry lacked empathy towards Asif’s Afghan community, treating many of his immigrant tenants with disdain.
Ultimately, Asif faced off against Gerry, leading to a heated altercation. He struck Gerry, causing him to fall to the ground, but Gerry remained conscious.
Or, in a more concise form:
Asif had a physical confrontation with Gerry, punching him and knocking him down, but Gerry was not knocked out.
In the subsequent part of the show, it is discovered that Gerry apparently made a voice recording one day following his vanishing, yet they soon deduce that his murderer likely manipulated this recording to conceal their actions.
The call originated from Ilford, and despite some effort, they compiled a possible collection of vehicles used by the suspect to make the call. They subsequently presented these discoveries, along with their belief that Juliet swapped her license plate using a marker and duct tape, for her review.
Given Juliet’s strong opposition to anyone inquiring about her daughter Taylor (Pixie Davis), Sunny and Jessica began to suspect her. It wasn’t until they were in an interrogation room that Juliet finally confessed.
Who was the killer at the end of Unforgotten season 6?
Discussing the truth from that particular evening, Juliet confides in Sunny and Jessica about the strained state of her marriage with Gerry, which deteriorated due to their financial troubles and the impact of the pandemic.
On that particular evening, Juliet was preparing dinner when Gerry arrived home rather late, roughly at 11:00 PM, inebriated. He informed her that he had arrangements for the next day, despite it being their wedding anniversary, an event that Juliet brought to his attention.
As their discussion became more intense, Gerry began to express blatant misogyny and eventually resorted to physical violence against Juliet. Trying to distance herself and carry on preparing their meal, Juliet asserted that Gerry approached her from behind and struck the back of her head.
In response to his approach, Juliet swung around and struck Gerry’s leg with a punch, but she didn’t put down the knife she held. Consequently, she jabbed him in the thigh instead. Fleeing from him, Juliet sought refuge in the bathroom, keeping her distance. However, while within, she overheard Gerry claim he was losing a lot of blood, followed by an ominous silence.
Thirty minutes later, stepping out from the bathroom, she discovered Gerry lying lifeless on the kitchen floor, drenched in blood. At this point, Juliet’s maternal instincts took over, fearing she might end up in prison and leaving her daughter unattended.
1. She cleaned up using several rags and collected everything, including her own items, in trash bags.
2. She discloses that she transported Gerry’s corpse into his office, securing it with a lock.
3. In the morning, she dropped off Taylor at school and scheduled a playdate for later in the day to keep herself from being home.
Juliet followed her usual routine by going to work. After her classes ended, she visited an internet cafe to search for instructions on what supplies she needed before heading to a hardware store to purchase carving knives, adhesive tape, and trash bags. She subsequently detailed that she had dismembered Gerry’s body at home in the kitchen and wrapped each piece in garbage bags, placing them in his office.
She brought Taylor home from a playdate, slipped a herbal sleeping aid into her hot cocoa, so Taylor wouldn’t stir during the night while she attended to other matters. Later, she swapped out her car’s license plate using gaffer tape and then drove to the marshlands to hide Gerry’s body.
Immediately following Juliet’s confession, Jessica brings up an inconsistency and presents Sunny with Gerry’s time log sheets from his phone, which indicate that he ordered food to their apartment at 7 pm, not 11 pm as Juliet claimed. However, one may wonder why Juliet would fabricate such a detail.
In this scenario, they plan to interview Taylor, and after the conversation, she provides them with the information they seek. Taylor affirms that Gerry was physically abusive towards Juliet, and she frequently heard evidence of this abuse. She adds that on one particular occasion, she witnessed it firsthand. Descending the stairs one day, she found her mother lying on the floor, with Gerry still kicking her. Moved to act, Taylor spotted a knife nearby and used it to defend herself and her mother by stabbing Gerry in the leg.
In simpler terms, Taylor discovered that Gerry was hurt by someone, which turned out to be her. Juliet then whisked her upstairs to draw her a bath, read her a story, and helped her fall asleep. The next morning, Juliet explained to Taylor that Gerry needed to leave right away for a work appointment. As a gesture of forgiveness, she left a piece of chocolate on the nightstand beside Taylor’s bed.
Upon returning from her playdate that night, her mom informed her that Gerry was on a business call in his office and should not be disturbed. It was the following day that Gerry went missing, as Taylor recalls.
Indeed, it was Taylor who accidentally stabbed her father Gerry in the leg, not realizing the severity of the wound. However, since Juliet quickly took Taylor away before she noticed any blood, she remained unaware that Gerry had been injured.
Who gets arrested for Gerry Cooper’s death?
In considering their next steps, Sunny weighs up two possibilities: one is to disregard Taylor’s statement and let Juliet shoulder the blame. If Juliet opts for a self-defence plea, she might be released from prison in about two years. However, this action could potentially implicate Sunny and Jessica in obstructing justice.
Instead, they could inform Child Protective Services about what Taylor disclosed and it’s highly likely they’ll determine that it’s not in the public’s best interest to prosecute her for murder. However, due to the slight chance of being charged and Taylor discovering she killed her father, Jessica believes it’s not the preferable option.
However, Sunny advises her that this matter isn’t for them to decide and they ought to let Juliet choose her course of action herself.
When they communicate with Taylor, Juliet sadly discovers they’ve talked to her, but Jessica explains that they believe a case for justified force might benefit Taylor, making it unlikely that the Criminal Prosecution Service would pursue charges. However, there’s a possibility that Juliet could face charges for illegal disposal and obstructing justice, though the CPS might still choose not to prosecute due to the specific circumstances.
In essence, there is no documentation of their discussion with Taylor, thus leaving Juliet with a decision to make. Subsequently, Jessica and Sunny escort Juliet to a private room where she talks to Taylor. Later on, Jessica receives a call from Child Protective Services, indicating that it’s not in the best interest of the public to prosecute either Taylor or Juliet regarding Gerry’s death, which implies that no one will be arrested over this matter.
It seems plausible that Juliet either shared the truth with Taylor about what transpired, or else she might have lied and incriminated herself in the process.
In their final sighting, they are captured exiting the police station, hailing a taxi – with Juliet offering a lingering look and discreet nod towards Sunny, implying gratitude for their joint actions.
What happens to Jessica and Sunny?
As the case comes to a close at the end of the episode, I find myself driving my car home, only to be taken aback upon reaching my destination. Upon exiting my vehicle, I cast a glance towards the pub on the corner and am struck by an unexpected sight – my estranged husband Steve (Andrew Lancel) is there, in the company of another woman.
It’s plain to see that they are out on a date, given that Jessica recently expressed her desire for a divorce and he had mentioned wanting to save their relationship. Enraged by this sight, Jessica climbs back into her vehicle and departs.
Regarding Sunny, he had a conversation with Leanne (Georgia Mackenzie) earlier in the show about her unusual behavior towards him following their night out together, which included a shared kiss.
In simpler terms, Twenty-four years ago, Leanne was in a troubled relationship and ended it suddenly without looking back. Sadly, this hasty departure also meant leaving behind her child whom she has never met since then. Before Sunny could react, Leanne walked away, giving him time to absorb the shocking revelation.
However, as the episode comes to an end, Sunny makes a call to Leanne and leaves her a voice message instead. In this message, he expresses gratitude for the information she shared, yet suggests they arrange a meeting to discuss it further. This meeting might serve as a stepping stone towards rekindling their friendship or perhaps opening a new phase in their budding relationship.
