At her grandmother's house, Alice is seized by relatives after a woman calls her "the mistress Dad married" and claims the Clare inheritance. Alice insists she promised Ian she'd wait, but men force her into a car and instruct each other to hide her: "If anyone asks for Alice, you know what to say." Ian arrives after hearing her voice and frantically searches the neighborhood. Door after door, residents echo the same denial: "There's no one named Alice here." The episode ends with Ian confronting empty answers while Alice's whereabouts remain unknown.
