The murder of Sally Friel affects her family and others, including the taxi driver who witnessed it. Shaun has a panic attack. Massive FM hits the air.

Cab driver Bernard, witness to Sally Friel's murder, cracks under the strain of his troubled life.

Bernard is charged with murder. Claire seeks out the mother of Sally's killer. Sean thinks about pursuing August Werner to Switzerland.
