- A third murder victim, Rob Evans, is found. Flynn is unhappy to learn that Milly is going on a blind date, and asks DCs Ali Peters and Daniel Yelland to watch her to ensure her safety. Ian sleeps with Sue, and is attacked by a furious Phil. A local funeral director goes missing, and is found dead in a coffin, a dated funeral service sheet in his left hand. Daniel and Ali recognise Phil, who has been arrested for attacking Ian, as the man Milly was on a date with. Flynn interviews Phil alone and without a tape recording, and warns him to stay away from Milly. Neil Langley, Ian's lawyer, who also has links to Anthony Snoden and Rob Evans, is interviewed by Flynn and DS Shakia Barton, and later becomes the fifth victim of the serial killer. Flynn's father dies, and at the hospital he makes an intuitive leap connecting Ian to the murders, while Ali discovers a connection between them: arranged diagonally, the locations of the deaths spell out T-H-O-M-A. Milly goes missing, and Flynn realises she has been taken by the killer, then deduces her location, providing the final S in the sequence. He confronts Ian, as the team find Milly tied to a rope and hanging face down in the canal. An incarcerated Ian tells Flynn that carrying out the murders made him powerful and attractive to his newfound family - he has finally discovered something he is good at. Flynn visits the hospital with Sid, where they are reunited with a recovering Milly. (en)
- DCI Thomas Flynn arrives at the hospital bedside of his estranged father, as Ian Stanford returns home to discover his wife, Megan, missing and their bedroom in disarray and covered in blood. Megan's body is later found dumped on waste ground, a torn piece of newspaper dated the day of her death clutched in her left hand. Ian is questioned by Flynn, who is leading the investigation, and then put under surveillance. Ian receives a surprise visit from his son, Jake Richards, the product of a sperm donation he made as a student. At the hospital Flynn meets his half-sister, Milly, and later her young son, Sid. When Jake's DNA is found on the scarf Megan was strangled with, he is arrested, and Ian meets his mother, Sue, for the first time. The two are immediately drawn to each other, intrigued by the notion that they are strangers and yet have made a child together. After Jake is released from custody, Ian surprises him and Sue with tickets to a football match. The three drive off together, with Sue's husband Phil looking on jealously. Flynn discovers that his father, who left the family home when he was a child, loves and is proud of him, contrary to what he has always believed. Plastic surgeon Anthony Snoden disappears from his clinic and is later found dead in a disused warehouse, with the date of his death carved into his hand. After an uneasy start to their relationship, Flynn finds himself increasingly drawn to Milly. (en)
