Jenn’s personal life is still fragile. Her stepson, Kieran, hasn’t spoken to her since the previous case. Her partner, Chris, tries to bridge the gap, but the silence at the dinner table is louder than the bay’s winter wind.
But then Jenn notices a photograph taped inside the cabin: Danny with a young woman — his daughter, , who disappeared two years ago. No body was ever found.
In the episode’s final ten minutes, Jenn re-interviews Nina, who finally cracks. “Carl knew what happened to Leah Firth,” Nina whispers. “He saw something the night she vanished. He said if Danny pushed the development, he’d tell the police everything. Danny didn’t kill Carl for the land. He killed him to keep the secret — or to avenge Leah.”
Jenn watches the tide come in. Her phone buzzes — Kieran has texted: “Can we talk?” She doesn’t reply. Not yet.
