Protection viewers are convinced that Amy is hiding a big secret as they spot a major issue in the case. The ITV hit drama made a return to our TV screens on Monday (March 17) night for another gripping episode.
The show is inspired by the experiences of a seasoned witness protection officer and delves into the dark world of crime and corruption, with Siobhan Finneran taking the lead as DI Liz Nyles.
Tonight, DI Liz’s guard was up following a warning from DS Paul Brandice telling her not to not trust anyone. To make things worse, youngster Amy is now in deep danger as the only potential witness to the hit on her family but it soon made pretty clear that she wasn’t keen on giving any information.

During her police interview, they attempted to get as much information for the young girl that could help solve the case, however Amy claimed not to have seen anything.
On their way back from the police interview, Liz’s car is followed by a motorist, presumably a hit man. In a thrilling chase scene Liz and Amy are forced to make a stop as they attempt to make their escape. They managed to get Amy to safety, but the identity of the mystery man is not revealed.
Things take a turn for the worse for Liz as her daughter arrives home from her dad’s to find Amy staying with them in her bedroom.
As expected, Liz’s daughter is not happy about someone else taking over her bedroom while she was away, which forces Liz into a new motherly position for Amy, but it comes at a price as she neglects her own daughter.

The episode ends with Amy exchanging messages with a mystery person, which has now left viewers claiming that she is hiding a huge secret. They also think she isn’t being truthful to the police.
One viewer suggest on X, formerly known as Twitter, that their was a contradiction in Amy’s story, as they pointed out: “#Protection I thought the wee girl did see him when she was standing at the top of the stairs. Then she looked out the window.” (sic)
Another said: “Fear makes people lie even more Got me there guv #Protection.” A third commented: “She does recognise him #protection.” (sic)
One commented: “#Protection Amy seems very defensive, saying no quickly to everything.” Another pointed out: “Why hasn’t the girl said she saw men at the back alley I think she knows more than she’s revealing #Protection.” (sic)
Another viewer asked: “Could Amy be talking to the man on the bike that followed them ? #Protection.” One pointed out: “They should’ve taken that tablet off Amy straight away to guarantee her safety. #Protection.” Meanwhile one viewer added: “I think Amy knows more than she’s letting on #protection.” (sic)
All episodes of Protection are available to stream on ITVX.
