The platform has also shared a string of official stills from the upcoming chapter, showing Raine and Capaldi back as Lucy and Gideon. The duo are seen wielding guns in one of the images as they appear to be in a barn.

Meanwhile, their co-star Nikesh Patel is also back as DI Ravi Dhillon. In a first-look snap, the DI looks nervous as he seems to be hiding or overhearing something that he shouldn't.

In a third photo, Raine's Lucy is exploring a creepy, deserted building at night, as she examines the ceiling and points a flashlight at it.

The pictures might not give too much away, but they definitely set a disturbing tone for the show's anticipated conclusion.
