Sirens (2025) – Season 1 Episode 2 Recap & Review

Talons Episode 2 of Sirens begins with Devon swimming her way to Cliff House at night with a snorkel. Jose is notified about an intruder and sees Devon on the cameras. She makes it to Simone's room and tells her she wants to get her out of here. Despite everything, Simone says she's happy here and doesn't want to go back to Buffalo. The argument goes on for a while. Devon reminds Simone that she wanted to be an attorney and Simone points out how Devon sleeps with married men. Michaela turns up again and interrupts their conversation. She hasn't been able to sleep and gets in bed alongside Simone. She also has Jose take Devon to the guesthouse but he actually takes her to a police car, where Devon is arrested for trespassing. Back in Simone's bedroom, Michaela asks Simone why she never mentioned she had a sister. Simone says Devon makes her sad. Michaela then asks if there's anything else Simone hasn't mentioned and Simone says Michaela knows everything about her. Meanwhile, Devon is surprised to find that even the policewoman with her knows who Simone is. In the morning, we see Peter Kell who finally made it home. He comes across Patrice, the cook, and chats with her. In jail, another fellow prisoner tells Devon about Rory and Sarah Kell. They're Peter Kell's kids from his first wife, Jocelyn. Apparently, people think Michaela killed Jocelyn because no one's heard from her. The woman also tells Devon that she was once in a cult and Devon gets tips on how to get out. The woman says her father integrated himself into the cult to get her out. Michaela greets Peter in the morning and they are soon joined by Simone, who gives them a schedule for the day. Peter doesn't want to do a photoshoot but Michaela convinces him to do it. He then gives her a gift from Tokyo from a place called Magpie. Simone then gives Jose and his team instructions to set up a funeral for Barnaby. She then gets a call from Magpie in Tokyo and asks them to send over a specific chocolate. Devon is then pulled out of her jail cell and taken to meet Michaela. Michaela points out that with her second DUI Devon could go to jail for up to four years. Instead of that, Michaela gives her an offer to just leave and go home straightaway. Devon then puts on an act and asks Michaela to take her under her wing like she did Simone. Michaela agrees to keep her for the weekend. Jose then takes Devon back to the guesthouse and tells her Michaela has bought new clothes for her, forcing Devon to dress like Simone. She then finds Simone and Michaela getting ready for the Vanity Fair photoshoot. Devon takes Simone aside and shows her 'change of heart'. Devon then comes across a photographer and tries to sell him a whistle-blower story but he refuses. Simone and Michaela enter a different room, where Peter and Jose are waiting. Peter sends Simone away and then shows Michaela security footage that proves Simone has been having excursions every night. They realise she must be sleeping with Ethan and Michaela says she's just Ethan's type, '25 and here for the summer'. Simone overhears the whole thing and gets upset. Meanwhile, Devon speaks to some other women and learns they are with Michaela in a wildlife preservation society. She then finds an open door and heads up a tower, where Peter is smoking. He lets Devon smoke and also showers praise on Simone. Devon then brings up Peter's kids and first wife and he gets suspicious. Simone stays locked in a room, crying on the floor for a long time. Devon searches through Simone's room and realises she hasn't been taking her medicines. She then sees Jordan (whose real name is Morgan) walking on the grounds and calls him to get her phone back. She reveals she's undercover to get Simone out and then rushes to speak to Ray, who has been calling incessantly. Michaela gets antsy without Simone and tells Jose to go find her since the eulogy for the bird is on Simone's phone. Ray tells Devon that he doesn't want to take care of her father for that long. She then sees a blond woman running into the woods and cuts the call to follow. She sees Michaela's eulogy and watches her and Ethan go for a walk. Jose finds Devon spying and tells her to follow. He takes her to Simone, who's still crying on the floor. Devon holds her and comfort her. The Episode Review Episode 2 has Devon hatch a plan to get Simone out of Michaela's place. As the episode title suggests, Michaela really has a hold on Simone. We see a lot of this through her repeated questioning of Simone, demanding to know why she didn't tell her about Devon. It's nicely done. On the other hand, Devon's undercover skills are not the best. Pitching her scoop to a random photographer and straight up asking Peter if his ex-wife is alive is a terrible move and doesn't feel like realistic dialogue, even for someone impulsive and rash like Devon. She's smarter than that and I hope the show doesn't let such moments puncture the story's experience. Which it is building quite well actually! Michaela's estate feels sprawling and maze like and her guests feel like a version of Mean Girls' Plastics. The suspension of belief hasn't been pushed too far out yet and there's also enough suspense around Michaela and if she's really up to no good. As for Simone, seems like a thread of her perfect life has just unravelled. There's definitely more to come. Previous Episode Next Episode Expect A Full Season Write-Up When This Season Concludes!
