Over in the Yorkshire dales Chrissie is thrown when Lawrence has his will rewritten. She still believes her dad’s partner is up to something, especially when a digger goes missing, but she finds it difficult to find any evidence which can back up her suspicions about Ronnie.

Elsewhere Rakesh is in a bad way as the kidnapper begins to start pondering their identity may be exposed if Rakesh lives to talk about the events.
