Available on Acorn TV, Prime Video
S1 E2: A worried Gail calls in support from her son, James, when Malcolm fails to surface after the night-search for Hattie. She leaves James searching Malcolm’s private office for clues as she joins the W.I.’s tea-making efforts for the day’s searches in the woods, in an effort to keep up appearances. But when Gail gets home, James has got some chilling news. The searches are enthusiastically led by Steve to further ingratiate himself to the family of Hattie, as well as cover his own worries about his brother. Steve almost misses the kick off-though when he gets held up at Seth’s flat. It’s the first time he’s ever visited and he’s shocked when he finds what Seth’s been storing there. When the police call on Linus, their routine questioning leaves him with food for thought. In an effort to try and find out more about his dad, he starts doing some investigating of his own, leading him somewhere that might connect Everett and Hattie. Alan and Fiona disagree over her desire to help with the unofficial searches - is it just a desperate attempt to feel useful? Fiona can’t help feeling that she’s bound to find something. A discovery later, however, isn’t quite what she had in mind. Meanwhile, Everett is one of the only men to resist the searches and, as Steve lands himself in trouble with the police in the woods, away from the searches, Seth makes his own horrible discovery.
