Netflix's The Stranger season 1, episode 3 recap: A horrifying discovery

Adam gets closer to finding the Stranger and begins to understand why Corrine faked her pregnancy. Joanna makes a horrifying discovery.

The Stranger strikes again at a woman’s bachelorette party, revealing that her fiancé actually leaked the sex video of her and her ex to break them up so he could be with her instead. But the woman knew that already. The Stranger didn’t reveal a secret, she created one.

Back at home, Adam deals with an allegation of embezzlement against Corrine. She is accused of having stolen money from the football club’s accounts. But they don’t have enough proof to arrest her anyway, so Adam sends her accusers packing.

Adam confides in Tripp about his fight with Corrine and her uncharacteristic disappearance. Adam has a lot of questions, but he knows Corrine would never steal that money. So who did and is it related to anything? Meanwhile, he tries to hide the trouble from his boys, but they’re not buying it. Corrine isn’t answering their texts either, which is troubling.

Daisy reveals to Tom that she believes Mike posted the explicit photos of her little sister online, so she dosed him with PCP at the rave in revenge. But she didn’t think he’d kill an alpaca or that Dante would get hurt.
