Nate’s death has sent shockwaves through the village and the finger of suspicion is getting pointed in all directions. The police seem to think Cain did it, but have nothing concrete to pin it on him. Meanwhile, the real killer, John is getting away with murder – quite literally.

As the week begins, John is interviewed by DS Walsh about the day Nate disappeared. He answers their questions and hopes he’s said enough not only to protect Cain, but also himself.

Across the village, Tracy finds herself confronted by a crowd of angry Dingles. Sam wants to know why she told the police that Cain killed Nate. She faces off against him, Belle, Aaron, John and Cain, and as tempers flare, Cain turns the tables on Tracy, accusing her of murder!

Following the public spat, John is on hand to offer his support to Cain. He can see he’s struggling and reassures Cain that the police will soon find something else to focus on. John then sets a new plan into action, one which he hopes will shift the blame onto Tracy.

Next day, Tracy recieves an unwelcome surprise when the police turn up at Tug Ghyll with a search warrant. She insists they’re wasting their time, but how will she explain herself when they discover Nate’s phone hidden in Frankie’s playhouse?

It seems John has been busy again and Tracy has no explanation as to why the phone is there. She can barely contain her fear as the officers haul her down the station for questioning. Inside the interview room, things take another shocking turn when the police tell Tracy there’s no record of the removal men who supposedly took Nate’s belongings to Shetland.

By some miracle, Tracy is let go. As she returns home she spots Cain and makes it clear she still suspects he killed Nate. Battle lines are drawn between the pair, neither of whom realise the real murderer is living amongst them.
