The Bletchley Riddle

Lizzie heads back to the Mutton, sneaking into Colin’s room when she is spotted by Mr. and Mrs. Tilbury. They ask her to return to her previous room. Gran has called to the local pub, discovering Lizzie’s plan. Fleetwood, his spirit broken by Lizzie’s antics, will not be coming back.

Jakob is on his way to the Park. Jarvis intercepts him and lets him know that he’s aware Lizzie is back. Jarvis brings up the case of the American Embassy spy in London, who has implicated Willa as an accomplice. Jakob rejects this idea. Jarvis says he wants to interrogate Jakob and then alludes to the secret message Jakob got from his mother, “goulash.”

Lizzie walks to the Park. She goes to see the Colonel and reveals to him that she has figured out that the Park is a codebreaking operation. Unlike all the other staff, who are compartmentalized in their specific department huts and unaware of others’ roles, she sees all the different operations in her role as a messenger. She tells him that she is driven to find out the truth about Willa. The Colonel dismisses her, but says that she should report directly to him from now on.
