Plot thickens. A couple of witnesses come forward who seem to corroborate Betty Kane's story. One says he saw her get in a car like Marion's. The other is a former maid of Marion who insists she heard screams from upstairs. (She was sacked for theft so it's a little tricky.) In favor of Marion is the fact that the girl describes the circular driveway even though she could not have seen it from her prison window. Marion and her mother are served with a summons to appear in court, so Scotland Yard believes it has enough. Not sure what will come. Marion talks about wishing she could "torture" the girl because of her anger. Hmmm. Odd thing to say if you have been accused of beating the very same girl. Robert remains convinced of the innocence of the two, yet there is the hint that the two women living alone have become quite eccentric.
Weakest. Tommy is in prison. His son, Ryan, is now 17. Catherine the cop's sister, Clare, takes Ryan to visit Tommy in prison, without telling Catherine. Not good. Sisters have a break when Catherine finds out. Plot two: PE teacher, abusive to wife. She is getting drugs from local Indian/Pakistani pharmacist. Husband finds out and has wife arrested! Pharmacist worried . . . plots to kill husband. Wife agrees, then changes her mind. Pharmacist in a rage kills her. (All a bit of a stretch, as he is a mild mannered family man.) Tommy escapes from his court hearing, hides out, gets in touch with Ryan. Plan is to go to Marabella, Spain together. Tommy's "helpers" get worried about Tommy and decide to do him in. Instead, he kills them . . . and is knifed himself. He returns to Catherine's house, looks through a photo album showing Catherine took good care of Ryan, and decides not to kill her....
