Becky Swain isn’t just standing around – she’s not just waiting, she’s dropping an emotional and informational bomb on Lisa and Carla’s relationship.

It’s revealed that Becky has prepared a USB stick containing evidence to help their daughter – and thereby make Lisa look back at her past with Becky.

Plot: Becky invites Lisa to her house, puts a CD – a song Becky and Lisa used to listen to when they were together.

The music is playing, the lights are dim – the space is filled with nostalgia.

Becky says softly: “Do you remember this song? When we were first…” Lisa feels both warm and shivering – because she’s sensing Becky’s way of rebuilding old feelings, but at the same time she understands that this is Becky’s way of thinking.

Meanwhile, Becky shows Lisa the USB: it’s the result of Becky’s private investigation with DI Costello – that Betsy is innocent, and Carla hasn’t been told the whole truth. Lisa sits quietly, her eyes distant. She begins to think: is Carla hiding something from her? Is Becky playing an emotional game to regain her position? The feeling of “being tricked” begins to form.

Carla knows that Becky is playing this game – but she doesn’t know how far Becky has prepared herself. Becky doesn’t just want Lisa anymore – she wants “number one” in Lisa’s life. With everything going on, Becky has the upper hand: she has information, she has emotions, and she has a past. Carla only has… presence and strength. But is strength enough when someone is being played psychologically?

This part ends with the scene: Becky leaves, a very slight smile, leaving Lisa and Carla looking at each other in silence – no words, just eyes – but everything has changed.
