Paula starts off as semi believable and ends as if another writer was brought in to co write the final episode. I also suspect that is what probably happened.
Everything seems to be building up to James and Paula being brother and sister....and that was likely the original ending. A lot of the loose ends would have been tied up, minus the how she sneaked a box with a person in it under the floor of the cellar.
My theory is the ending was changed because someone thought they could get another series out of it.....but misjudged how it would be received. I found it watchable and well acted, if a bit more than a tad daft. The lesson here is tie up the 1st series unless you have the 2nd in the bag
