During Lorna’s police interview with Detective Colman Akande [Daryl McCormack] about the missing woman Aoife, Lorna told him the last time she saw her was when the nun left with her baby after giving birth at the convent. Unaware that Lorna had Aoife’s dead body hidden in the walls of her house, Akande discovered that Aoife’s daughter, Olivia, was on her way from Dublin to help with the investigation.
Later in the episode, Lorna discovers a heartbreaking document that seems to reveal the fate of her baby Agnes. It was a death certificate, filled out by Aoife during her stay at the convent, which stated that Agnes had died of “trembling”.

A third person tweeted: “Aoife’s daughter is coming to help with the search. What if Aoife’s daughter is actually Lorna’s daughter,” while another agreed, adding: “I don’t think Lorna’s baby was shivering to death. Who writes shivered to death official form? No, i think olivia is her kid and she knows lorna is her mom. Why else would she randomly rock on hers like that, really?”
While fans will have to wait until Sunday night to find out what happens next, the synopsis for episode four gives an idea of what to expect. “Aoife’s body has gone missing and Lorna is devastated by the news of her child’s death,” it says. “The search for her daughter’s grave becomes increasingly difficult, so she takes matters into her own hands and returns to the convent. In Dublin, Colman is reprimanded for his outlaw ways, while a shocking discovery builds a new connection in the case.”

What is the Woman in the Wall talking about?
For those yet to catch up with the drama, the six-part gothic thriller follows Lorna Brady, a survivor of Ireland’s Magdalene Laundries scandal.
One morning Lorna, who lives in the fictional Irish town of Kilkinure, wakes up to find a dead body in her house.

Lorna has no idea who the dead woman is or if she herself is responsible. This is because Lorna has suffered from extreme bouts of sleepwalking since she was imprisoned in a convent at the age of 15, where she gave birth to a baby girl named Agnes, who was cruelly taken from her at birth.
The synopsis continues: “Unfortunately for Lorne, Detective Colman Akande (Daryl McCormack) is now also after her, for a crime seemingly unrelated to the body she discovered in her home.

“As Colman searches for the killer and Lorna searches for her daughter, their paths collide in ways they could never have predicted. Lorna’s search for Agnes will take her deep into her own past and into the heart of Kilkinure’s darkest secrets, as she and Colman search for the answers they so desperately needed.”
