As well as seeing Sally Wright return to her teaching position at her former school, the episode also provided more insight into the character of Anna.

Meanwhile, a fourth said: "#Innocent It's hard for me to work it out but I'll have a crack and say the lad's real dad was Sally's hubby."
In the teaser clip for episode three, which was shown just before the closing credits on Tuesday night, Sam can be seen sitting down at the police station saying "I'm going to tell you the truth" – but what exactly is the truth? We can't wait to find out…
