The Promised Neverland: Season 1 (Full Recap)

i hate intros the promise neverland season one episode one we kicked things off with the introduction of the 11 year old emma and her two friends rey and norman the three of them are living in an orphanage known as grace field house there are 38 children in total living in the orphanage and most of them seem to get along well with one another the kids are oversaw by a woman named isabella and have to undergo tests to determine their aptitude emma ray and norman are a bit of anomalies because they score perfectly on their tests and are extremely smart while playing we learn that the kids will stay there until they find an adoption family for them but they will never stay there for longer than 12 years which all sounds good but the problem is that the kids that are adopted are never heard from again one of the younger children a six-year-old named connie is adopted and prepares to leave the orphanage she is taken away by isabella and ends up forgetting one of her favorite stuffed animals so norman and emma naturally rush to get it to her they are shocked to find the little girl dead in the back of a truck a group of demons come out forcing emma and norman to hide but they overhear their conversation the orphanage is actually a farm to harvest children and eat them isabella is revealed to be in on this and working with the demons they get out of there undetected and decide that it's probably a good time to start planning their leave because they don't want to die in the last scene isabella finds the stuffed animal that they were trying to get to connie so she knows that somebody was there ye episode 2. norman deduces that the reason they have to take the test is because that's what decides what order they're killed the lower your scores the sooner you'll die and if you manage to make it to 12 years old they're gonna kill you anyways they assume the logic behind this is that the smarter you are the better your brain will taste it's gonna be another two months until the next shipment at the earliest so they have until then to devise a plan to get all of the kids out of there they venture out into the forest to devise an escape route and end up running into a thick concrete wall which will prove to be their first challenge another problem is that when one of the children goes missing isabella looks at some sort of tracking device to locate the child meaning that all of the children have some sort of trackers implanted in their bodies in order to scale the wall they start collecting tablecloths and hiding them out in the forest and while doing this rey approaches them saying that they've been suspicious not knowing what else to do they fill him in on what they saw and their plans to escape he is reluctant at first because it's likely that there's some sort of demon society outside of the gates and keeping the young children alive will prove to be difficult in that kind of environment it takes a little bit of convincing but he eventually comes around to the idea and agrees to help them when they get back isabella announces that there is a new infant joining their family named carol but it's not just her there's also another adult helper named sister crony who is likely working with the demons as well and brought in to keep things under control yep so three we get a small look at the relationship between crony and isabella where we learned that the two don't really get along isabella fills cronie in on the possible breach but tells her not to do anything and that she's gonna handle it later on we see that crony is actually wanting to take over isabella's position as mother so she is biding her time before she betrays her and sells her out to the demons jump on over to the kids who discover that the new infant has a scar behind her ear which is likely where the tracking devices are located in order to whip the other kids into shape they play tag with them to get their stamina up while them thinking that it's just a game crony joins in to low key flex on the kids and tells them that if they can survive for 20 minutes then they win she ends up catching all of the kids except norman and rey making them the only winners emma got caught too but to be fair she was helping out the stragglers in the last couple of scenes the kids come to the horrible realization that it's possible there is a mole amongst the children yep so four it's been two weeks since connie was killed and everyone continues their training by having the children play tag in teams so that they're easier to lead in the escape while talking norman informs emma and rey that the escape days should be moved up because isabella wouldn't see that coming this kind of puts them on a bit of a time crunch though because he wants to get everybody ready in 10 days knowing that they're gonna need more team leaders for the escape the three of them agreed to tell two other children don and gilda they formed them in on most of it but norman decides against telling them that connie was killed and instead fabricates a story about human trafficking he also lays a trap for the child informant by telling them the location of their ropes we get a scene of the child informant passing along this information to isabella through a note meanwhile gilda is being interrogated by crony but luckily he doesn't give up any information on the next night norman springs his trap and reveals that he believes it's actually rey who's the informant that has been spying on them episode five ray comes clean about being the spy working for isabella which he had been doing for six years in exchange for not being shipped off he then claims to be a double agent and the reason he's working with isabella is to get information from her and rewards that might help them in their escape with that out of the way rey agrees to continue helping with the escape plans like normal but only on the condition that norman gives up on the idea of saving everyone essentially what he's saying is that they need to use some of the kids as sacrifices because they're gonna be too much of a hindrance norman is conflicted but agrees to this while also promising not to tell emma the truth about getting all of the kids out the next day emma is filled in on rey being the double agent and the three continue their plans after making some big brain plays emma realized that there's a hidden room inside of isabella's room likely used to contacting whoever she was working for they obviously want to know what's inside the secret room but decide it's probably too risky don on the other hand was very close with connie and is obsessed with finding out what happened to her so he goes with gilda to investigate the hidden room episode 6 emma had discovered that some of the books inside the library were previously owned by william minerva on the book plates were messages in morris code presumably made by william in an attempt to tell the kids the truth dawn was apparently leveling his pickpocket skills off camera and manages to get a hold of the key to the secret room once inside they find the toys of kids who were shipped off along with the communication device that isabella uses to talk with headquarters they also came to the conclusion that connie is likely no longer alive so emma ray and norman had been lying to them this prompts them to probe the three and they finally get the truth about connie's death as well as the existence of the demons the next day emma lets norman in on a new plan to get everybody out but we don't hear what it is yet meanwhile dawn manages to steal some chemicals to help emma with her plan jump on over to rey who meets with isabella and learns that he will be the next child to be shipped out while in the forest the kids are approached by crony who confronts them about knowing the truth and in the last scene suggests an alliance between herself and the kids ye episode 7 crone wants to work with the kids because if they succeed in escaping then isabella will be held responsible and crony will be able to take over her job she also reveals that she was once an orphan just like them and even though she managed to survive through all of that she is now unable to leave the area or a monitoring chip in her chest will electrocute and kill her well the three of them agreed to work with her they also discuss amongst themselves that they really can't trust her norman and emma go to croney's room that night to ask a series of questions about headquarters which is where the demons run all of the plantations from even after answering all of their questions both sides are still suspicious of one another withholding information over the rey who gets a camera from isabella as per his request in exchange for helping spy for her later on the kids plan information for cronie to discover about isabella which she does and is overjoyed about having some more leverage against her the only problem is that in the last scene isabella gives crony a note from headquarters explaining that she's being transferred out episode 8. the letter from headquarters also states that crone is going to be appointed mother at another plantation as she's preparing to leave she meets with the mysterious lady she answers to that she refers to as grandma kronay tries to sell out isabella to grandma because she doesn't like her and doesn't really want her plans to work out unfortunately grandma and isabella are working together against her so grandma orders some demons to kill cronie we get some flashbacks of her life and a touching scene where she's hoping that the kids survive and escape from the plantation but anyways back over to the children who launched their plan to investigate what's outside the large wall in response to this isabella finally makes her move as well she goes on to explain that she had taken care of crony while also stating that the partnership between her and rey is now over she locks him in a room and uses the tracking device to catch up with norman and emma who are at the wall don ends up coming across right and lets him out of the locked room while isabella catches up with two with the wall and asks them to stop she tries to make a case for herself like ah you guys have pretty good lives don't you think and you should enjoy that until the end it's kind of a shitty sales pitch so the two of them refuse and emma grabs isabella to create an opportunity for norman to get over the wall isabella isn't having any of that so she breaks emma's leg they get to talking and isabella reveals that she really needs them because they are the best quality meat suitable to be eaten by the one in the last scene we learned that norman's day has been moved up and he is to be shipped out on the next day episode 9. determined not to let norman die rey gives him a makeshift taser and if you're curious he got the parts from the gifts that isabella had been giving him in exchange for him spying for her the plan is to have him use the taser to disable his tracking device and then pretend to escape while really just hiding and waiting for the real escape day in order to prevent rey from being shipped out in his place he decides to break a bone or become sick because they can't ship damaged goods to the one this makes norman agree and we also learned the reason that rey knew the truth about the demons is because he wasn't affected by infantile amnesia now what the is that that means that he can recall memories he had as a baby which is why he knew the truth about the outside world jump ahead to the next day where norman prepares to make his fake escape he decides hey since i'm out here i might as well try out the actual escape plan so he ties a rope to a tree step two in the plan is scenario to run up the wall seems good step three in the plan is to be on top of the wall without the rope you initially came with and no coherent way of getting down we can just pretend that one didn't happen i guess and he comes back shocking everybody because he's supposed to be hiding the reason he had to come back was because outside of the wall is a huge chasm surrounding the entire plantation as an extra precaution against the children escaping episode 10. norman also learned that the house is inside a hexagonal property that's completely surrounded by the cliff because of the gap around the plantation there's only one way out and that's through the gate naturally the problem with that is it's surrounded by demons and it also leads to the demon headquarters later that night norman reveals that he never had any intention of faking his escape he was just out there to get more information and was gonna come back regardless he returns the tasered array and proceeds to say goodbye to the rest of the house in preparation for his departure in one last moment of desperation emma tries forcing norman to break his tracker and flee but he stops her and refuses before leaving to be shipped out with isabella once at the gate isabella informs norman that he has to wait in a side room for the demons to arrive the last we see of him he seems to have some sort of weird reaction to whatever was in the side room back at the house morel amongst everyone else seems to be broken as rey informs the others that he has given up on escaping jump ahead two months where in that time the escape plans have been completely stagnant both emma and rey have given up on living and are extremely depressed the night before ray is going to be shipped out he is approached by emma and it's revealed that she still hasn't given up on escaping and never has episode 11 emma explains that since isabella was watching her and rey they had seemingly given up but really don and gilda were still progressing the plans rey suggests that they set the plans in motion that night and also the fun little side note of him planning to kill himself he wants to die in a fire that will also burn down the house causing a distraction big enough for the others to escape as he goes to light himself on fire emma saves him at the last moment and convinces him not to kill himself we finally get the big reveal of the plan that emma had discussed with norman which was actually convincing all of the kids the truth ahead of time two of the kids rush in to create a decoy making it look like rey was caught in the fire because he's a bit of a delicacy and the one has been craving that ass isabella will be forced to try and save him in the midst of all of the chaos emma initiates the vincent van gogh strat to get rid of the tracking and escapes along with rey and the other children into the forest all of them reached the wall and prepare to use their naruto while running skills but then rey notices that the younger ones aren't with them meanwhile isabella is prevented from calling headquarters because the keyhole to the secret room had been filled she does still manage to get the transmitter before it's destroyed though and in the last scene we see a little boy come up and tug on her skirt episode 12. the boy is phil and we see flashbacks of him talking with emma about the truth they decided that the kids who are 4 and under would have too much of a hard time surviving outside of the wall the kids agree to stay behind and wait for emma to come back for them because the kids aren't shipped out until they're at least 6 years old this gives emma and the escapees 2 years to come back before the kids are killed and rescue them they also have to keep in mind that this is just one of the plantations and that there are multiple connected to hq so they're gonna have to save each one isabella uses her transmitter to inform headquarters that the kids are escaping an alarm is sounded and all of the demons are on high alert while the children use makeshift rope to create ziplines to cross the chasm luckily isabella have learned the vertical naruto run also so she scales the wall and gets to them just before emma crosses the chasm we get flashbacks of her growing up and seeing people she cared about being shipped off one by one she was given the opportunity to escape that fate by becoming a mother of one of the estates she began training to become a mother and gave birth before becoming mother of plantation 3. while working there she realized that rey is actually her son because he was humming a song that she used to while he was a baby he of course never forgot the song because he doesn't have infantile amnesia and that's why it stuck back to the present she takes down the rope and returns to the other children to inform them that they had successfully escaped i'm gonna be doing the next season and you can find
