When Akash finally gets a handle on his questions, Richard becomes agitated and demands he leave, almost throwing him out of the house.

Later, we see the story of Edward Warren which is darker than expected, as he has refused to reveal why he killed himself since taking his own life on platform 7. His son, Luke, and daughter, Ella, meet at the station to see where their father died. It becomes clear that Edward is not a nice man, and Ella has a history of drinking and drugs, stemming from her father’s sexual abuse.
After that Lisa is shocked to learn about Edward’s true nature, as she knows Ella from her teacher training and reported her to a safeguarding lead after she displayed signs of abuse. It is revealed that Edward didn’t take his own life because he was ashamed of abusing his daughter, but because Luke threatened to reveal his true nature to the world, and Edward couldn’t bear to see his high-standing position in the community tarnished.
As Rosalie and Izzy chat, the subject of Matt comes up again, and they leave their catch-up on bad terms. Ella confronts her dad, unaware that he is in spirit, and can hear everything she says. She promises to make sure Edward’s name is dragged through the mud, leaving Edward more alone at the station.
At last of episode 2, we see that Lisa is at the house she shared with Matt when he returns home. He lies to his date, saying she changed in the months before her death and ended things with her, but she took her own life to punish him. Lisa knows he is lying and goes into the bathroom to cry. While there, she sees a dark hoodie in the wash basket, the same one that the man running after her in the CCTV footage from the night she died was wearing. She realizes it was Matt who was chasing her.
