Warning: This review contains full spoilers from the "Simon" episode of The Returned

And you thought Romeo and Juliet were star-crossed lovers.In this week's episode of the English remake of Les Revenants (not that we're comparing), the narrative began to move away from Camille's family in order to focus on another -- Simon's. Or, more specifically, Simon's almost-wife and her new fiance. In a heartbreaking twist we learned that Rowan was pregnant and standing at the later when she learned Simon was killed, and has been having visions of him every since.While watching the romantic tale brought an even drearier tone to the episode, it also revealed a key piece of information: Simon wasn't a part of the horrific bus crash that killed all those kids. His death occurred two years prior to that incident, meaning all sorts of dead people are about to potentially pop back up in this small town. Thank goodness for that, because as much as we know what we're signing up for with this series, watching distressed parents and dead children is a pretty heavy burden. By expanding the mythology to include various deceased people returning, it not only opens up the narrative for less repetition but it also keeps the flow of reveals interesting too.Narratively, picking up Rowan's story as she was getting ready to say her nuptials to Tommy worked well as a mirror image of the past. It showcased Rowan's need to move on from the love of her life (despite that awful library scene in which you wanted to shake Simon into saying something), but it also cast a shadow on Tommy. How long has the Sheriff carried a torch for the former server, and how quickly after Simon's death did he swoop in?These will be important questions going forward now that Simon has been arrested and accused of identity theft. Tommy realized that man in jail could indeed miraculously be the deceased thanks to his little foray into the attic; now it will be interesting to see what he does with said intel.Meanwhile questions surrounding another accused man, bar owner Tony, continued to swirl. There is obviously more to his character poised to open up in future episodes, given how quickly he was arrested for the attempted murder of his employee. Of all the mysteries so far presented in the town this recurring murder theme (with the circle-like stomach stabbing scars) is perhaps my least favourite, even more so now that this episode revealed Julie was one of the former victims.As a character Julie is very obviously damaged, but her taking in Victor is supposed to evoke empathy from the audience. So far this child seems to be the connecting piece of the puzzle between most of the town's mysteries, yet the only times he's been particularly interesting are when he's sporting a marker or staring down the nosy neighbor. Pairing the living dead with the dead could be interesting, but in this particular case I just find it depressing and hope that it's addressed soon. (Here's hoping Episode 4, "Victor" should give us more background.)Rounding out the second episode tales was the continuation of Camille's story. Now that the kid has realized she was dead her story has been more about coping with being alive. Meanwhile audiences learned more about how her death slowly decayed her family -- alcoholism, new beaus and an angst-ridden sister were among some of the more obvious problems. It was nice to see that the writers haven't given up on telling those stories while introducing new ones, but if that's the direction each episode will take there will soon be way too many characters to keep up with. Or, not. Especially if the murderer strikes again.
