Ronnie and Ed have been harboring a dark secret: they visited Joel’s flat on the night of his disappearance, and while they didn’t harm him, they broke in to confront him about unresolved matters.

Ed, determined to keep things under wraps, reassures everyone that they left Joel’s flat with their “tails between their legs,” but tensions flare when his story is met with doubt. Both men are cornered as their loved ones start piecing together inconsistencies, especially when Ronnie’s satnav shows Joel’s address as his last destination. Suspicion mounts, and the pressure to confess becomes overwhelming.

As emotions boil over, Ed delivers an emotional speech at the party, apologizing for dragging Ronnie into this mess and expressing his love and gratitude for his family. But the celebration is overshadowed by the unresolved questions about that fateful night.

The episode ends with unease, leaving viewers wondering how long Ronnie and Ed can keep their secret before everything unravels.
