Having survived the attempt on his life Tommy calls on Jimmy, who believes that he did not kill Sally. Sally's boyfriend Alan Killick is a suspect in Tommy's abduction but his DNA suggests that his father murdered Lizzie, leading to an exhumation and confrontation with Drew's informer Benny Ray. The hunt for Sally's murderer switches to the oil company Forst Energy and its agent on Shetland, Andreas Hagan, whom Sally met in Norway regarding the cover-up of worker Danny Hamilton's death but Danny's widow gives Alison no help, causing her to fly to Bergen.

The exhumation leads to Alan's parentage being revealed as a likelihood for Lizzie's killer whilst Benny Ray is attacked by Tommy, feeding Drew's view that he murdered Lizzie. In Norway Alison and local detective Lars locate Hagan, who denies Sally visited him. She does, however, learn that Sally met with Mathias Soderlund, a leading member of the far right group NDA and Jimmy flies out to join her. They cannot find Soderlund but make a revealing discovery about him . However somebody is warning them off. Written by don @ minifie-1

Troubled by historical DNA evidence results, Perez has to face the fact that Duncan may have been involved in Lizzie Kilmuir's murder and potentially Sally McColl's as well.
