Season 2 of Bad Sisters marks a new beginning for Grace. It has been almost two years since she ran away from her husband and told the truth to her caring sisters, who hated him. Though by season 1’s ending Grace did not get her insurance money, at the very least the Claffin brothers did not go behind bars.
Season 2 Episode 1 of the show introduces some new characters. Ian is Grace's (almost) husband, Angelica is Roger's sister and seems to be one of the main characters this season, and there is a young detective called Houlihan who is so smart that the others underestimate her at work.
When is Fiona Shaw introduced in Bad Sisters?
After Jake's death, Bad Sisters Season 2 unfolds to help the sisters transition back into life. A scene at the racecourse, where Grace's bachelorette party is taking place, is where Angelica is introduced first.
Grace is to be remarried to a nice guy Ian. The sisters seem to have moved on as we see Eva hit the bars and try out Hinge. Becka has left Matt for a good man. Ursula is flirting with a handsome jockey. Bibi and her wife discuss the possibility of a second child. Everything seems to be going well until Roger arrives with his sister Angelica.
Roger seems sweet and sad, still pining for Grace but burdened with the guilt of having helped her cover up JP's death. Angelica brings a very different energy. She seems overly cheerful, quickly changing her expression as she responds to Grace's awkward, apologetic remarks about losing touch.
Later, Grace describes Angelica's presence as "suffocating," which is accurate. At Grace's wedding, when Angelica pushes Eva to the ground to grab the bouquet, a more aggressive side begins to emerge.
What is the story of Angelica in Bad Sisters?
Angelica is Roger Muldoon's sister in Bad Sisters. In Season 1 of the show, Roger, Grace, and JP are neighbors. JP had tried to destroy Roger's life by making the neighborhood think he was a pedophile.
Roger helped Grace in season 1 to make JP's death look like an accident and moved the body. In the latest season, Grace is staying at the new seaside home she and her husband recently purchased, while Roger is now staying with Angelica in a far-off location due to his guilt about concealing the murder.
Angelica is very religious and yet so lonely and unaware of who she really is. Fiona Shaw, who stars in Bad Sisters as Angelica. Talking about her character in the show, Fiona says,
"She's an oddbod who is living with her brother and some rabbits, she doesn't have the biggest life and certainly doesn't have the glamorous life of those sisters, and she certainly doesn't have the company of those sisters. So she's completely at odds with them and I think she's delusional to think she can be friends with them yet she thinks she can."
Bad Sisters is now available for fans to stream on Apple TV+.
