Seven youths' corpses are found in the Bevans' cellar, Joe denying all knowledge of them and only one of them, other than Michael, being identified. Then the remains of his daughter Sheila are discovered under his bedroom floor-boards. Eventually Joe admits to killing the boys, under pressure from Eunice, but claims to know nothing about Sheila. Helen tells Janet that she and her sister Julie assisted in burying one body but Gill is concerned that, as the press are pursuing Helen, one of her officers leaked her involvement. Rachel is forced to confess to a devastated Sean that she should never have married him and the reappearance of a drunken Sharon does not help but, whilst her personal life may be a mess, her questioning of Joe finally gets results.—don @ minifie-1

The investigation into the deaths at the Bevans' home and the 7 bodies found in the cellar continues. The police have now found another body, that of a female believed to be Sheila Bevan, under the floorboards in the Bevans bedroom. Helen Bartlett is found to have taken an overdose of prescription drugs but survives. She feels persecuted by the press however and is being painted in the media as someone who knows more than she's admitting to. Under questioning by Rachel, Joe continues to deny any wrongdoing but through his solicitor finally admits to all of the killings except that of his daughter. The investigation continues to be hampered by leaks to the press. On the home front, Rachel finally tells Sean that she wants to end their marriage and moves in with Janet when he refuses to leave.—garykmcd
