Rhona is thrown into further chaos next week when her son, Leo, draws a family picture that includes Pierce. She's already struggled to move forward from the devastating attack, so will this prove another setback?

Rhona's ex-husband, Paddy Kirk, is on hand to offer support as broken Rhona struggles to find the words to tell the youngster that Pierce won't be coming home.

Later, the police inform her that they'll need to speak with various friends and villagers. Rhona panics that she'll be judged or that no one will believe her.

Vanessa Woodfield is also close by Rhona's side and tries to reassure her that no one will judge her. But is she right?
