Libvpx (specifically the VP8/VP9 implementations prevalent during the film's 2009 setting and its 2012 release) is a codec built for the web. It is efficient. It is pragmatic. But it is not kind to darkness or rapid motion. It utilizes block-based compression. When the data rate drops, or the complexity of the image spikes, the codec doesn't blur; it pixelates. It fractures the image into macroblocks.
The second episode of The Bay , which originally aired on , on ITV, continues the high-stakes investigation into the disappearance of the Meredith twins, Dylan and Holly.
In S01E02, as the chaos in Claridge, Maryland escalates from "confusing rash" to "organs failing," the visual language of the film shifts. The narrative structure of Episode 2 is defined by the intrusion of the medical emergency into the public sphere. We see the waterfront, the town square. But visually, it is defined by the breakdown of the digital signal.

The episode introduces Nick Mooney (played by Matthew McNulty), an intellectually disabled young man seen arguing with Dylan on the night of the disappearance.
