Bethany admits that she’s convinced she spotted Nathan at the precinct.

Daniel assures Bethany that Nathan is in prison and it was her mind playing tricks.

Later, Nicky calls round and reveals that she’s off to meet a girl called Ellie who was groomed as a teenager and might have information about Lauren. 

As Bethany frets, Daniel continues to insist it’s her mind playing tricks on her, but Bethany pauses the video of the police reconstruction and zooms in to show Daniel a close up of Nathan.

In the police station, DS Swain confirms to Bethany that Nathan was released months ago.

A furious Bethany urges her to haul him in for questioning, convinced he’s Lauren’s murderer.
