If I'm gonna cook a guy like Ben Hughes,
I wanna know him inside out.
Ben! Don't you dare walk away from me!
Get him back. Whatever it takes.

JACOB: No, I am. Vince, I promise I'll be there.

Hey, hey, hey. Hey.
Well, well, what a wild few days it's been.
There's Jane Shelley practically wetting her knickers with excitement

At least Jane was honest.
She obviously despised Lucy.
Saw through her for... for what she was.
'As for the hypocrites who first demonised Lucy Logan
'and are now back-pedalling with their,
' "Oh, no. Oh, poor Lucy. We loved you, really.
' " Please come home."
'You drove her to it.'
Just as Lucy Logan drove Ben Hughes to his death,
YOU drove Lucy to hers.
'So...
'..live with it.'
You can't leave Poppy at Gran's forever.
You're gonna have to tell her.
I will. It's been three days.
They're still there searching.
For her body.
It's just...
..once Poppy knows...

Of course we can.
We can do whatever feels right.

Mel's on The Jane Shelley Show.
Come on.
She'll do your mum proud.
'Hand on heart, Lucy was the most hard-working
'and the most generous celebrity I've ever had on my books.'
'Bless.'
Some people may judge Lucy for her one terrible mistake
she made 17 years ago.
But was it right for Lucy to pay with her life?
Ooh. That's certainly food for thought.
Thanks, Mel.
After the break, we'll be talking to Donna Hughes,
who had a unique connection to Lucy
and was possibly the last person to speak with her
before she vanished.
Why would they even interview her?
I have no idea.
Do you think she really spoke to Mum?
After everything she did? Of course not.
You cannot put that woman on your show. Why not?
Well, for one thing, she's no friend of Lucy's.
But they were at the awards together. I interviewed them.
No, she's a nutjob.
Intriguing, Mel. Tell me more.
Trust me, Jane, one pro to another. Put her on, and you'll regret it.
OK, now I'm properly excited. Look, here's a thought.
Why don't you stay with us and keep us on message?
Donna.
Hi! So lovely to meet you again.
Come round. Thanks for having me.
You're so welcome.
Mel, look, I know how you feel about me,
and there's not a lot I can do to change that.
But I need you to understand.
The only reason I'm doing this is because I believe Lucy is alive.
And the sooner that everyone realises that,
the sooner that she'll be found.
A message of hope. Always welcome.
MAN: Can we just get you down here, Mel.
Sorry. No, take your time.
Just take a seat right here. Erm...
All good? Yes. Just a little bit nervous.
You look great. Thank you.
OK. Ready? Yes.
WOMAN: Five, four, three...
'Three days into the search for Lucy,
'very little has emerged to offer hope.'
But you remain confident Lucy's unharmed.
I believe that Lucy is alive.
DONNA: Because when I mentioned Ben's passing
and she realised the connection with us,
well, she just... she just opened up about it all,
about what happened to Ben.
That must have been devastating?
Yeah, yeah. For both of us.
There were lots of tears.
But you were able to forgive her?
Lucy took responsibility. She didn't blame anyone else.
And I knew that she was truly sorry.
'And that closure...
'..was the best gift that she gave me.'
No, she was forcing her to go on her show and tell everybody!
'And you believe you were the last person to talk to her
'before she vanished?'
'Yeah, I think that's likely.'
'When you spoke to her, what was her state of mind?'
Oh, she was all over the place.
Now, I thought it was down to her being so demonised, but...
..I think there's more to it than that. Really?
Erm... this isn't common knowledge. Oh.
Lucy had a stalker.
A stalker? Yeah.
No, she was the stalker, wasn't she?
She shouldn't be allowed on air. This is bullshit.
'Can you tell us any more about this stalker?'
Well, for starters,
he sent her a box of truffles every month
that were made from excrement.
Yes, I reported on that. Yeah.
I think...
Oh. Sorry.
OK. I think...
..she went into hiding
because she was so afraid that if her stalker came after her,
no-one would protect her
because, erm, she wasn't...
she wasn't worthy of... of anyone defending her.
I mean, now, you think that Lucy's got this glamorous life
of luxury and privilege, but...
..I saw beneath the surface.
She was dealing with a lot of pain and betrayal.
What do you mean?
Oh, I don't want to break Lucy's confidence.
Donna...
any insight into Lucy's state of mind
can only be helpful right now, yeah?
OK. OK.
Well, she'd just found out that her husband, Shawn,
had been selling stories on her...
..and he was selling those stories to you, Jane.
Oh. CHUCKLES
'Donna Hughes...
'..thanks again for that message of hope for Lucy's fans.
'Unfortunately, we are out of time.
'Join us again tomorrow.'
Is it true?
Did you sell stories about Mum?
It's not how she made out. Answer the question.
Lucy and me already made peace about all of this.
Jacob, I wanted to stop. I wanted it all to end.
But Jane Shelley threatened to go to Lucy. Whatever!
You're fucking worse than those scumbags out there!
Because at least they did pretend to love her.
Mate, I do love her. I do.
We're on the same side, mate. Let go of me.
We're on the same side. Let go!
DOOR SLAMS
I did try to warn you. Ooh, best of luck upstairs.
Nice performance. It's almost credible.
You're up to something.
Or maybe you've already done it, I don't know. Probably both.
Well, I know what you did, Mel.
You dropped Lucy at her weakest moment.
So all this anger that you're directing at me
is probably coming from your own guilt and your own shame.
Now, if you want to make yourself useful,
why don't you get the family to do an appeal directly to Lucy?
Because... I know she's out there.
Er...

No wonder she left.
I believe Lucy's out there, Jacob.
Really? Yes, really.

All you do is lie and manipulate.
You claim that she had a stalker? YOU were the fucking stalker.
It was you. It's always been you.
No, look, I'm as worried about her as you are.

Thank you.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
What happened with Ben was, er...
..it was deeply wrong.
I think I was just so consumed
by my own ambition that I would've, erm...
..I would've done or said anything, but...
..I couldn't be more ashamed.
Do you really mean that?
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to...
..to take responsibility, but what I...
..what I said to Ben was, erm...
..it was cruel.
It was cruel and sick, and...
..I didn't want to admit it.
Your brother's dead.
I pushed him to it.
And there's nothing that I can say or do to make up for that.
Thank you.
You amaze me, Lucy.
You can stay here for a bit if you want,
think about your future.
Let's face it, I haven't got one.
Well, that's what I was trying to tell you before you...
Lucy.
There is a way you can salvage your reputation
and get your career back.
And hopefully give me one, too, but more importantly,
we can make Stewart Jones pay for what he did.
Let's put an end to this once and for all.
Lucy, you are the heart and soul of this family.
Now, I know I've...
made some mistakes,
and I am so, so ashamed...
..and I wanna make it up to you.
But, Lucy, please, I-I am begging you. Please.
'I need you to come home.
'Poppy misses you so much.
'And so do I.'
Jacob, did you...?
'I'm so sorry we ran away and left you, Mum.
'It must have been horrible being by yourself.'

Hey, Donna. Hiya.
What have you got for us today?
Well, I'm going to be interviewing a pop star
who was HUGE in the noughties, but been a bit quiet since.
But she's ready to make her big comeback.
Oh, I wonder who it could be?
You know who it is.

I don't get it.
It's simple. The audience love her.
They find her funny, authentic, and endearing.
I can't believe people are buying her whole greener than green,
"I'm such a fucking ditz", patter.
If people knew the real Donna...
You mean the Donna who was there for me
when the whole world turned against me?
Or the Donna who insisted I was alive
when everyone assumed I was dead?
Well... you can't blame me for not trusting her.
But it's your call, babes. As long as you're happy.
And I am.

Hey.
Shawn was asking how you were.
You used to love those camping trips.
Told you, I'm never speaking to him again.
Have you thought any more about what I said about counselling?
Not this again.
Jacob, you do know that you can trust me, don't you?
Please, just...
Just tell me what's going on. Please.
When everything happened...
..I met someone.
OK?
His name's Vince, and I thought he was special.
I thought he was the one. I know it sounds stupid.
No, it doesn't. It doesn't sound stupid at all.
Well, it was, cos we went out a couple of times, and...
..I just thought he really liked me, and then...
..he ghosted me.
Darling.
SIGHS That's horrible. I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
Any more news, Donna?
Erm, a bit sensitive, this one, Lucy.
We've just heard that Stewart Jones
has just been sentenced to ten years in prison.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to spring this on you.
No. No, I'm glad you said it.
How are you feeling?
Relieved that the horrible nightmare is over.
And hopefully, sometime soon,
I'll be able to more fully share my story with you
so that we can all fully understand the effects
of gaslighting and bullying.
Oh. Very interesting.
But for now, let's just be grateful that that monster's behind bars.
Lucy? Lucy?! What?
Bullying? Gaslighting? What are you getting at?
Look, we talked about salvaging my reputation.
What? That doesn't mean suddenly denying responsibility
and blaming big, bad Stewart.
It is Stewart's fault.
If Ben hadn't have gone on Stewart's show,
he'd still be alive.
Lucy, you took responsibility. Do not backtrack now.
This is the only warning you're getting.
Do not fuck with me.
May Stewart Jones rot in prison for what he did.
Why did you let Donna speak to you like that before?
It was bang out of order.
Everyone saw the video. I know exactly what I said to Ben.
Yeah, because she put it out there.
But nobody saw the way Stewart treated us.
Seriously, if they knew what he was really like...
They'd understand how he drove you to it.
There's a documentary there, and a book.
SCOFFS Donna would freak out.
So fucking what?
This is your opportunity for total absolution.
You deserve that. Why do you care what Donna thinks?
It's like you still believe
she's got a hold over you when she doesn't.
Her contract's coming to an end.
If you tell the execs you don't want her back,
they won't fight you.
And do yourself a favour and cut her loose.
KNOCK ON DOOR
Oh.
I can't believe they didn't renew my contract.
The ratings have never been better. And they love me on the socials.
I know. Look, it's just the way it works in television sometimes.
I'm really sorry. Are you?
Or do you want things to go back to the way they were
before I came along and ruined everything?
Donna, Stewart's banged up, you had your 15 minutes.
I'm sure you can explore other opportunities, OK?
You know, I was so moved when you took responsibility for Ben's death.
But it was all just a big Lucy performance, wasn't it?
No. I am really sorry, for MY part.
Oh. Oh, right.
So it's all Stewart's fault now, then, is it?
OK. What?
Luke?
Oh, this is Luke.
This is my nephew, Ben's son.
Your son knows me as Vince.
You went out with him?
We did more than go out.
Should I show her?
Oh, I think you might have to.
You know, I was four years old
when my dad jumped in front of that train.
After you did what you did.
I'm really sorry, Luke.
So, what is this, then?
You... You got my son to fall in love with you
to get revenge on me, is that it?
HE CHUCKLES
There's a bit more to it than that.
'Jacob Logan, what are you doing holding a petrol bomb?
'When the world is burning, you've got to fight fire with fire.'
'That's more like it.'
'Shall I do it?'
'Yeah, man, go for it.'
'Bombs away!'
GLASS SHATTERS, EXPLOSION
Let's hear it for Jacob.
Job done.
Jacob, a committed young climate activist,
and massive following online,
lately, expressing some... extreme views.
All that and a great kisser.
You took my dad from me.
A terrorist attack is a very serious crime.
The maximum sentence is life imprisonment.
Even if you are 16, like Jacob.
I think you know what I'm saying, Lucy.
Do you know who I'd really like to interview, Lucy?
Who? That empath, Cillian.
I remember watching him when I was at home and...
He called you a Prosecco person.
Yes, he was very sweet.
No, I think he really got you.
I think he... he saw what a kind-hearted person you are.
And you always put people first, especially your children.
Come on now, you're making me blush.
No, come on, Lucy, you're a fantastic mum.
I mean, if people knew the lengths that you go to...
Absolutely. We will. We'll get Cillian back on.
But for now, we've run out of time.
So all that's left for me to say is, from the bottom of my heart,
thank you to everyone watching,
because without you, there is no show.
Until tomorrow. Bye. Bye.
