Greenwich Park

In court, the two rapists are found guilty. Katie goes to meet Emily, DCI Carter, and Emily’s sister. Emily has decided to tell her story with Katie’s help after all. This seems to be healing for Emily, who smiles for the first time that Katie has seen. After the interview is over and everyone leaves, Sally, a friend who’s been feeding Katie’s cat, calls Katie to say two police officers are at Katie’s apartment, wanting to speak with her about Rachel.

Rachel’s family has reported her missing. Helen tells the police that Rachel had been staying at her house and that she met her recently at a prenatal class. The police didn’t know Rachel was pregnant. Helen says she last saw Rachel at her party on November 5. Helen shows the police the text saying Rachel went to her mom’s, in which Rachel also apologizes for the previous night. Helen reveals that they argued before Rachel left.

The police want a list of all the party guests. Helen tells them the ones she knows, then says they’ll have to ask Charlie for the rest. Helen doesn’t know where exactly Rachel lived prior to coming to stay with her or who Rachel’s baby’s father was. She knows Rachel worked at a music venue before starting early maternity leave, but she doesn’t know which one.

Katie meets Charlie at a restaurant. The police have questioned both of them. Katie tells Charlie she saw someone who looked like him going into the cellar with Rachel the night of the party. Charlie says it wasn’t him—he admits to entering the cellar, but says he was alone. Katie didn’t tell the police that she saw someone enter the cellar with Rachel, but now she wants to call them back and change her story. Charlie cautions her against this because being inconsistent will look suspicious. However, Katie thinks this detail could be important. Charlie points out that the police can twist things if they want to, like they did with him last year when he brought cocaine to a club for Rory and they tried to charge him as if he was a major drug dealer.

Charlie thinks Rachel probably returned to her boyfriend or parents and that they needn’t worry. Katie points out that the police are worried. Katie asks what Charlie was speaking to Rachel about at the party, but Charlie says it was nothing. Katie doesn’t know whether to believe him, suspect him of infidelity, or suspect that he’s the reason Rachel’s now missing.

Helen and Daniel go shopping for a stroller, but Daniel seems upset. Helen asks if it’s about money and points out they have a large savings account from which they could pull funds. Daniel insists that he’s just tired.

Helen continues to worry about Rachel—if she’d really gone to her mom’s, her family wouldn’t have reported her missing. Daniel argues that she was clearly fine when she sent the message, and if she’s not at her mom’s, she’s somewhere else safe. Helen still hasn’t mentioned her suspicions about Rachel and Rory’s affair to anyone because she’s not sure it’s true.

Helen and Daniel arrive home one night to find their lights out; a fuse has blown. They go to the cellar to fix it, and Helen notices a large crack in the concrete.

Katie tracks down Rachel’s last known address, which was not in Greenwich, and goes to visit. The building is run-down with graffiti, peeling paint, bad smells, and windows that only open one inch. She meets Jane, Rachel’s former roommate.

Homicide detectives DCI Betsky and DI Hughes arrive at Helen’s house; they’ve taken over the investigation. They search Rachel’s room, then take Helen and Daniel to the station. They don’t think Rachel was pregnant but that she was wearing a fake baby bump.

Jane says she doesn’t know where Rachel is, which she already told the police. She mentions that Rachel never looked pregnant to her and that she’d seen her just weeks prior. Rachel moved out of Jane’s apartment because she wasn’t paying rent and had annoying habits. Jane says Rachel worked at a club called the X, which is the same place Charlie works, and that Rachel did not have a boyfriend. Jane says Rachel was working on a weird project involving a lot of newspaper clippings, but she took them with her when she left. Katie decides she needs to investigate the club next.

Helen drives the cat, Monty, to the vet. On the radio, they’re talking about Rachel’s murder inquiry. Nobody has heard from Rachel since November 5. Rachel’s dad is begging people to come forward with any information.

The vet says Monty has lost too much weight. The problem is probably that Monty’s food bowl is next to the cellar, where loud remodeling work is happening. When Helen tries to pay for the appointment, her card is declined, which is odd because she just transferred a bunch of money from her savings account. Helen arrives home, and Rachel’s dad is waiting there for her. He’s drunk and grabs her arm aggressively, demanding to speak with her.

Rachel’s murder investigation becomes big news, but Katie doesn’t want to write about it. She goes to the X, which is closed, but there’s a woman there mopping. Katie asks about Rachel, and the woman says they don’t know where she is and have already spoken to the police. Katie waits for the woman to disappear, then snoops around the bar and finds a bulletin board of pictures. One is of Charlie with his arm around Rachel, suggesting they know each other.

Helen invites John inside and offers to tell him anything he wants, although she’s already told everything to the police. Helen feels somewhat unsafe without Daniel there. John questions whether Rachel was really pregnant because she never told him about it.

John says Rachel was living in Hackney. This confuses Helen because she assumed Rachel lived in Greenwich, since they were in the same prenatal classes and Helen bumped into Rachel everywhere. John says Rachel worked at a club, but he doesn’t know which one. He mentions that Rachel had been working on a project, but he doesn’t know what. John says that something bad happened to Rachel as a teenager and she changed afterward, becoming angrier. She used to call John weekly but stopped after Guy Fawkes Day. Helen suggests that John speak to Rachel’s mother, since Rachel said she was going there. John says Rachel’s mother has been dead for 15 years and that whoever sent the text message was not Rachel.

Helen reaches her due date but has not gone into labor. She longs for the baby so that the new part of her life can start and she can be distracted from Rachel. There’s still nothing new about her on the news, and Helen worries that whatever happened is her fault since she asked Rachel to leave. Katie calls Helen and asks her to meet her at the nearby pub to talk.

After meeting with Katie, Helen takes the train to visit Charlie. Katie told Helen that Rachel had been living in Hackney, was likely faking her pregnancy, and worked at Charlie’s club. Katie showed Helen the photograph of Charlie and Rachel. Both women are confused about why Charlie would conceal his former acquaintance with Rachel. Katie also told Helen she thinks she saw Charlie, or someone else, going into the cellar with Rachel.

After Charlie puts Ruby to bed, he and Helen talk. Helen seems surprised that Ruby looks happy and asks why Charlie lives in Hackney considering how much inheritance money he has. Charlie explains that Ruby’s mom lives nearby with her new partner; Ruby’s school, friends, and activities are nearby; and his work is nearby. Also, most kids don’t grow up in Greenwich Park mansions, nor is this necessary for a fulfilling life. Helen has always been judgmental of Charlie but now realizes that while she has no idea how to be a parent, he is already pretty good at it.

Helen shows Charlie the photograph of him and Rachel from before. He asks how she got it, but she doesn’t answer, saying instead that she needs him to tell her the truth.
