Molly’s daughter Lily partakes in some risqué online activity, which Freddie manipulates in an act of revenge against Molly. Meanwhile, Molly’s suspicions about Freddie’s involvement in Dorothy Moxley’s murder deepen.

Molly’s daughter Lily partakes in some risqué online activity, which Freddie manipulates in an act of revenge against Molly. Another murder with similar overtones to the Moxley murder, and a possible sighting of Freddie Hopkins’s ute, give the investigators a stronger sense they are on the right track but when they pay a visit to his house, they find he has disappeared. However, what they do find is evidence linked to Jenny McGinty’s murder — a backpack missing from the crime scene of 20 years earlier. Meanwhile, Lily innocently accepts a ride from Freddie and finds herself in peril when, in a misguided act of revenge, he forces her out onto a ledge high above a remote dam.
