Lily Gladstone Tells Riley Keough to Back Off in ‘Under the Bridge’ Episode 3 Sneak Peek [Exclusive]

Two episodes in, Hulu’s buzzy new true crime drama Under the Bridge has laid out the facts, established a timeline, and built intrigue surrounding the brutal murder of 14-year-old Reena Virk (Vritika Gupta). Episode 3 will now see the town of Victoria rocked by the discovery of her body, while local cop Cam Bentland (Lily Gladstone) and writer Rebecca Godfrey (Riley Keough) continue their investigation. Despite working toward the same goal, however, the officer has some reservations about a civilian getting involved. Ahead of the episode’s release tomorrow, Collider is excited to share a sneak peek showing the pair reconnecting, only for Cam to push Rebecca away.

The sneak peek begins with Cam and Rebecca going over the conflicting information they gained in Episode 2. Josephine (Chloe Guidry), the ringleader who orchestrated Reena’s beatdown as revenge for the rumors she spread, confessed to Rebecca that she pushed the teen over the bridge. However, Cam proved that her explanation didn’t add up by driving from the bridge to Seven Oaks and realizing Josephine couldn’t have made it home in time to beat curfew as she did. While Rebecca tries to determine why she lied about being the killer, Cam is more confused as to why the writer would care so much about getting to know one of their prime suspects. Rebecca just wants to help out with the case and even admits that Cam is the one police officer she actually cares for. With a look of concern, Cam tells her firmly that she wants her to stay out of the way of the investigation, but Rebecca has no intention of leaving things alone.

In addition to the team-up of Rebecca and Cam, Episode 3 of Under the Bridge will see rumors start to swirl around town as everyone becomes fixated on Reena’s death. The investigation will only get more difficult from here for the pair as they dig deeper into the young girls at the top of the suspect list. More flashbacks will also further shine a light on Josephine’s hidden mafia world as Reena enters her orbit.
