Smother

When Val Ahern's husband Denis is found dead at the foot of a cliff close to their home the morning after a family party, she begins to interrogate his relationships with his family and uncover an intricate web of lies.

Val struggles to understand Graces recent erratic actions; the local Gardaí look closer at the Ahern family as the investigation moves away from treating Denis' death as an accident.

Carl comes under fire as events from his past life in Denmark come to light; Calum has a run-in with a group of local boys.

With Calum missing, the Aherns question his recent violent behaviour; Val confronts Rory; Grace sees Joe for the first time since she confronted him at home; Jenny and Frank reminisce about Denis.

Jenny tries desperately to resolve her financial difficulties; despite Val's attempts to keep the family together, events spiral out of control at Anna's birthday lunch.

Val increases her efforts to find out the truth about Denis' death, torn between reality and what is right; Rory makes long-overdue amends, and protects his boys; the Ahern women draw together for comfort, and converge once more for Denis' funeral.
