Spoilers for Wild Cherry episodes 1-4 follow.

The teen drama Wild Cherry revolves around several mysteries, but the disappearance of one girl has the biggest impact on the community around Richford Lake.

BBC1’s new drama is a compelling coming-of-age story set within the wealthy, but troubled, private worlds of Britain’s elite. It explores the challenges of growing up as a privileged young woman.

What to Read Next

When a group violently disrupts K Rizz’s party, Grace and Iris become separated. This is the last anyone ever sees of Iris (played by Catriona Chandler) before she disappears.

So where is Iris in Wild Cherry?

Nicôle Lecky’s show slowly reveals its central mystery—Iris’s disappearance—and initially, it doesn’t seem to cause much alarm.

In a town full of hidden secrets, a teenage girl who often runs away is seen as just wanting attention, especially by her friend Allegra (Amelia May).

Iris’s mom, Jelena, just lets me play, because she knows Iris always ends up back in the game eventually. She’s pretty chill about it, honestly.

Grace (played by Imogen Faires) is troubled by a recent conversation she had with a friend at a party hosted by K Rizz, and she can’t stop thinking about it.

When Grace questioned Iris about revealing secrets about them and The Catalogue, Iris didn’t admit to being the one who told, but instead responded with a mysterious statement.

Iris suggested to Grace that feeling like you want everything might actually mean you’re on the verge of feeling completely empty. Grace admitted she didn’t understand what Iris meant.

Iris revealed she was upset with Grace for sharing photos from The Catalogue online. When Grace denied doing so, Iris jumped to the conclusion that she was secretly in love with someone who was using them by taking their pictures. Grace was just as puzzled as anyone else, explaining that she doesn’t have a boyfriend and isn’t interested in anyone romantically.

That night, Lorna got another confusing text message, and she thought it was from her former boss – also the father of Grace.

“We are but demons who dream,” the text read.

As the story unfolds, Lorna figures out the message was sent by Iris and tells Juliet. Neither of them can understand what it means, but the police later discover the exact same sentence written on a sticky note in Iris’s bedroom.

Who has Iris’s phone in Wild Cherry?

Grace felt relieved for a moment when Iris reached out to them just before the vote on the Catalogue.

Allegra receives a text from Iris, who blackmails them into cancelling the vote.

“Or I’m going to tell,’ Iris adds, signing off with a flower emoji that leaves the friends puzzled.

Allegra thought the emoji was strange for Iris, but she didn’t dwell on it. She was too busy trying to keep up the act with Grace.

On the day of the voting, everyone was surprised when Iris, who hadn’t been seen, unexpectedly posted a revealing photo and won the title of Top Girl, upsetting Allegra.

Okay, so things are getting seriously weird in-game. It’s becoming obvious someone is pretending to be Iris. It’s already strange that she’d post to The Catalogue after ripping it apart, but it’s even creepier that she’s doing it with a picture that Allegra says looks like… well, something really explicit. It’s throwing everyone off.

In the second episode, Wild Cherry tries to clarify how Iris’s phone ended up with Juliet.

At an outdoor party – maybe her mother Jocasta’s birthday, which she’s been talking about endlessly – Juliet secretly handles a phone, wraps it in a tissue, and hides it in someone’s jacket.

The story of Wild Cherry jumps around in time, eventually showing that Juliet wasn’t the first owner of the item.

Okay, so in the latest episode, things got crazy! I was totally shocked to find out Grace was blamed for everything with ‘The Catalogue’, and even more shocked when I discovered Iris’s device was hidden in my backpack! Seriously, who planted it there? And how did Juliet end up with one too? I need answers!

Why is Iris’s coat in K Rizz’s video?

As Iris is still nowhere to be found, Grace’s suspicions close in on influencer K Rizz.

Okay, so Allegra is totally obsessed with all the talk about this guy’s ‘rizz’ – apparently it’s a huge thing! But honestly, I’m with Grace – it just seems a little weird that a grown man would hang out with a bunch of teenagers. I get why Allegra’s into it, but it feels off to me.

During a conversation with Noori in episode four, Grace revealed something that had been on her mind. A video shared by K Rizz showed one of his dancers wearing a coat belonging to Iris.

Noori thinks Iris might have forgotten something, but Grace isn’t convinced. Adding to the mystery, Allegra found blood inside K Rizz’s abandoned mansion, suggesting he may be involved and needs to answer some questions.

What really happened to Iris in Wild Cherry?

If you haven’t seen the latest episode yet, be warned – spoilers ahead! Everything viewers thought was happening turns out to be incorrect when the mystery surrounding Iris’s disappearance takes an unexpected twist.

When the police discovered Iris’s bracelet in the woods, they had to deliver devastating news to Jelena – something no parent ever wants to hear.

Iris has been found dead, but what really happened to her?

As the show Wild Cherry nears its end with just two episodes left, it will reveal if K Rizz was involved in the teenager’s death.

They appeared quite close at the party, sharing a cigarette. This made Grace remember her previous conversation with Iris, where Iris had accused her of having feelings for the person who leaked their photos.

Grace wondered if the person being discussed was actually herself, hinting it might be ‘K Rizz.’ Allegra dismissed the idea as wild speculation.

Given his reputation and the fact that K Rizz wasn’t well-liked, he’s currently the main suspect in Iris’s death. However, it’s also possible someone else is responsible, if her death turns out to be a crime.

Juliet once had Iris’s phone, but it’s unknown if she was involved in Iris’s death.

It’s confirmed that Allegra’s mother was out the night of K Rizz’s party, after meeting with someone she was having an affair with. She may have crossed paths with Iris, but that doesn’t mean she’s the killer. Someone privileged like her – the daughter of a Lord who’s always been shielded from problems – wouldn’t take such a huge risk.

There’s a possibility Grace and Allegra were involved in Iris’s death, or even a different murder. The show Wild Cherry includes quick scenes of Grace desperately trying to wash blood off her hands, and Juliet and Lorna assisting their daughters in concealing something.

Based on what they’re wearing, something important happens the night of the party – the same party where Juliet hides Iris’s phone.

Later on, Jocasta and Noori are at the police station while Grace’s mugshot is being taken. Jocasta appears thoughtful, but Noori is crying as she shows the officers a video of Grace and Allegra pressuring someone to join The Catalogue.

“Stop pissing everyone off and just come here,” Grace says in the clip.

“You need to join The Catalogue, or you’ll regret it,” Allegra warned, while Grace added menacingly, “We’re going to find you.”

The video is meant as a joke, but it feels sadder now that Iris has passed away. Was it about her specifically? And would her friends really do anything to defend their app?

In the very first episode, Gigi (Lecky) delivers a chilling line: ‘Nobody, not even myself, understood what we were truly capable of… until the damage was done.’

Wild Cherry airs on BBC One on Saturdays at 9pm and streams on iPlayer.

The latest issue of Living Legends is now available! You can find Ariana & Witches at newsstands or online for only £8.99.
