As per your request, I have written a description for the show Top Of The Lake season 1 episode 2 named "Episode 2".
In this episode, the investigation into the disappearance of 12-year-old Tui Mitcham continues. After discovering evidence at the local school, Detective Robin Griffin and her team question a group of young boys, including Tui's close friend Jamie, to gather more information. However, the boys provide little help and it becomes clear that they are hiding something.
Meanwhile, Tui's father Matt Mitcham confronts Robin at the police station, accusing her of not doing enough to find his daughter. Things escalate quickly, and Robin is forced to defend herself against Matt's violent outburst. However, this confrontation leads to a new lead in the case when Robin discovers that Tui was seen getting into a car owned by Matt's brother Johnno.
Robin takes the information to her superior, but is met with resistance as Johnno is considered a local hero. Not willing to give up, Robin continues to pursue the lead and shows up at Johnno's workplace to ask him some questions. However, Johnno's reaction is hostile and he denies any involvement in Tui's disappearance.
As Robin's investigation continues, she begins to uncover dark secrets about the town and its inhabitants. She meets with a group of women who have all suffered at the hands of violent men and are determined to create a safe haven for themselves and others. It becomes clear that the town is not as idyllic as it first seemed, and that there is a deep-seated culture of misogyny and violence.
Meanwhile, Robin's personal life is also in turmoil. She is haunted by memories of her own traumatic past and struggles to form meaningful connections with others. Her relationship with local police sergeant Al Parker becomes more complicated as they both grapple with their own personal demons.
As the episode comes to a close, Robin discovers a potential breakthrough in the case that could bring her closer to finding Tui. However, she soon realizes that the case is more complex than she could have ever imagined and that her own life may be in danger.
Overall, "Episode 2" is a tense and gripping installment of Top Of The Lake that delves deeper into the town's secrets and sets the stage for a thrilling season ahead.
