In this episode, we dive into Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite of Spring #4, where the echoes of Nigel Albright’s past continue to haunt Woodbrook — even though he’s long gone.

Sam takes a daring step as she manipulates Monica into breaking into Nigel’s old house, hoping to uncover what he left behind before anyone else can. Nigel may be dead, but something hidden in that house could change everything — and the tension of discovering it keeps the entire issue on edge.

Meanwhile, Pauline struggles with her pill addiction, and her challenges are compounded by the grief she and her children face. Lewis and his sister are still coping with the trauma of their father’s murder at Nigel’s hands in the original series, and the lingering pain shapes their reactions to the secrets emerging in Woodbrook. And Bertie has used up all his Weblynx hours! What will he do?

This issue is a tense, character-driven journey through fear, grief, and the cracking masks of everyone in Woodbrook — showing just how much the past can leave its mark, even when the person behind it is gone.
