Part 2, Chapters 30-39 Summary

Chris’s girlfriend, Patrice, is staying with him for the week. Their evening is interrupted when Donna calls, confirming that she has arrested Ryan for theft and possession with intent to supply.

Elizabeth and Joyce are blindfolded and taken to MI5 premises in Godalming. They are questioned by Sue and Lance in an underground isolation cell. Elizabeth claims she has mislaid her phone when Sue asks to see it. Sue gives Elizabeth a locket found on Douglas’s body. It is inscribed with Elizabeth’s name and has a mirror inside. Shortly after Elizabeth and Joyce leave, Siobhan arrives in Godalming and confirms that the body is Poppy. Sue reveals that Douglas will be identified by DNA analysis as he has no next of kin.

Elizabeth returns to her apartment, where Bogdan has been looking after Stephen. She searches the locket for hidden clues but finds nothing. Bogdan agrees to retrieve Elizabeth’s phone from Hove and drive her to Martin’s home later that day. Elizabeth then calls Chris inviting him over for a debriefing. When he says he has other plans, Elizabeth asks to speak to Patrice. She persuades Chris’s girlfriend to accept the invitation, having no idea that Patrice is Donna’s mother.
