Carla is determined to see justice served after discovering that Stephen spiked her drinks with LSD earlier in the year. The police remind Carla that she has no proof, so there isn't much they can do.

Later, Carla spots that Stephen has bought a one-way plane ticket to Thailand. She tries to warn DS Swain that Stephen is a flight risk, but Swain urges her to tell nobody as they're already investigating the villain for other crimes and don't want to jeopardise their chances.

Despite this, Carla can't resist warning off Jenny from going on the trip, pointing out that she could be leaving the country with a murderer.

2. Tim finds Teddy's body

Tim hopes to prepare a special meal for Sally on their wedding anniversary, but he gets distracted when Brian mentions that Stephen has taken an interest in the local canal dredging project.

It's not the first time that Stephen has seemed unusually curious about the canal, so Tim heads off there to investigate. While looking in the water, Tim is appalled as a corpse's hand floats to the surface.

3. Stephen prepares to strike again

Tim calls 999 to report his findings, but Stephen then pops up in the back of his cab and tries to strangle him with a tie. Tim makes a dramatic bid for freedom, but Stephen catches up with him and hits him over the head.

An unconscious Tim is left at Stephen's mercy after being overpowered by the villain. Before long, Tim is fighting for his life in the boot of his car, which Stephen is dousing in petrol.

4. Stephen deceives Jenny
