Ep 3. Julie

Julie is the third episode of the first season of The Returned (US). The episode follows the character of Julie, a young woman who has returned to her hometown of Caldwell after being missing for over a decade. Julie's return is a shock to her family and friends, who are left struggling to come to terms with her sudden reappearance.

The episode begins with Julie wandering around Caldwell, looking for a familiar face. She eventually makes her way to the local coffee shop, where she runs into her childhood friend, Nick. Julie tries to catch up with Nick, but he is understandably wary of her sudden return. Despite Nick's reluctance, Julie convinces him to go with her to her family's house and help her reconnect with her parents.

Meanwhile, in other parts of Caldwell, strange things are happening. A young boy named Victor is seen wandering around the town, looking lost and scared. Victor seems to have a strange power, as he is able to make objects move with his mind. His presence is unsettling to the residents of Caldwell, who are left wondering what his true intentions are.

As Julie reconnects with her family, tensions begin to rise. Her father is angry at her for leaving without a word, while her mother is overjoyed to have her daughter back. Julie's younger brother, Mark, is also struggling with her return. Mark was only a child when Julie disappeared, and he has spent the last decade believing that his sister was dead.

Throughout the episode, we see flashbacks of Julie's time away from Caldwell. We discover that she had been living in a commune in the woods, and that she had become involved with a man named Peter. Peter is also back in Caldwell, and he seems to be linked to Victor in some way.

As the episode comes to a close, tensions between Julie and her family reach a boiling point. Julie's father accuses her of being a liar and a fraud, while her mother tries to keep the peace. Julie storms out of the house, and it is clear that she still has a lot of unresolved issues to deal with.

Overall, Julie is a tense and suspenseful episode that deepens the mystery of The Returned. As we learn more about Julie's past and the strange occurrences in Caldwell, it becomes clear that there is much more at play than meets the eye. The episode leaves the audience with plenty of questions, and sets the stage for further revelations in the episodes to come.
