2. What does Checquy do?

Again, this is a question without a solid answer. We know Checquy is a British secret service group. Supposedly, they protect people from threats and danger. They are the ones called in to investigate the six bodies found at Millennium Bridge.

Checquy agents also have supernatural abilities. Myfanwy has a destructive ability to kill people from the inside. It appears she may have killed the people at the bridge. She definitely killed at least one man at the bank, possibly two if the woman at the bank died after her departure.

Other members of Checquy have abilities as well. Conrad can manipulate the atmosphere and force people to tell the truth. Another is an expert at lying. For now, the only one we’ve seen utilize their abilities is Myfanwy, and she took medication to keep herself calm. Present-Myfanwy has yet to follow suit.

3. Myfanwy’s connections to Checquy members.

About what I mentioned above about Myfanwy potentially being bisexual and emotional, when she finally arrives at the office, Alex corners her. He is a platinum-haired agent at Checquy. Alex and Myfanwy had a drunken one-night-stand the night before. He thinks she arrived late to work because she was nursing a hungover.

Myfanwy and Alex agree they will never act on their impulses again. Afterward, she runs into his sister/twin. In unison, the twins comment on their happiness. She is willing to let this go because they believed her emotions might get in the way. Did Myfanwy hook up with both of them?

As for the other agents, Linda appears to be a maternal figure to Myfanwy. Ingrid is her assistant and a helpful “secret weapon.” Conrad is deemed dangerous, though he likes her. That’s all the intel Myfanwy receives from her past self.
