Complete story — includes the ending
Property developer Charlotte Leigh's car is found, on Albert Bridge, by two young men who get in and try to start it only to end up getting arrested by the police when the wannabe car thief's story doesn't fly with them. Suspicious as to why the car was parked there in the first place, the police call in Ronnie and Sam who suspect Charlotte is now dead in the River Thames. After starting a missing persons investigation, a body is later found near the spot where her car was found, and identified as being Charlotte, suicide being ruled out by the forensic pathologist. At first her ex-husband, Richard McGrath ( Patrick Baladi ), is suspected after the police are told that he is in a custody battle over his and Charlotte's young teenage daughter, Holly ( Charlotte Hope ). But after his alibi rules him out the team look a little closer to home when traces of Charlotte's blood are found at her own home, a flat that she shared with Holly and her new man Sean Harte ( Rory Keenan ). After interviewing him and Holly they both claim the other was pestering them sexually. Sean has an alibi, and confesses that Holly told him she murdered Charlotte in a jealous rage over him. She is arrested and stands trial for the murder of her own mother, however Ronnie discovers that Sean was also involved with Jess ( Jodie Comer ), a school-friend of Holly, which swings the case away from the accused.
