A flashback to a painful moment from childhood prompts James to change his plans. Out of cash, Alyssa resorts to shoplifting.
James goes to the police but, rather than reporting the murder, tells DC Onslow how, when he was six, his depressed mother Vanessa committed suicide, before running off and reuniting with Alyssa. Meanwhile the discovery of Phil's car leads policewomen Eunice and Teri to finding the link between Alyssa and James whilst the murder weapon is also located where James hid it.—don @ minifie-1
