Ep. 3: What was Hickey doing during SPOILER ALERT


During Franklin's funeral in ep. 3, Hickey tells the other guard he has to use the "seat of ease" for a few minutes and goes below and enters the late Captain's cabin. It then looks to me like he pulls down the sheets and squats in Franklin's bed, presumably to defecate there. Is that what he did?

I thought it was his boyfriend's bed.

I thought Hickey and his boyfriend didn't rate beds and just had hammocks, but I could be wrong.

I don't know but i've slogged through the first 3 episodes and I don't feel inspired to watch more. It doesn't really speak well for the main storyline that it needs to fill time with some irrelevant butt buddy drama. I was hoping this would be more of a psychological horror but it's pretty much just been people stuck in the ice with some mysterious beast picking someone off every now and then, along with a "who gives a shit?" subplot involving inconsequential characters. I usually tend to finish a series even If I'm not into it that much but this has been especially 'meh'. I expected more considering it was starring Ciarán Hinds and Jared Harris.
