Alice meets with Jill to talk about the posters. Jill tells Alice that her mother has been in contact with Pat and asks whether it’s true that she has sent her a birthday card. Alice admits that she has sent the card, but she agrees with Jill that she doesn’t want to reestablish contact with her mother. Jill tells her that they can either get a judge involved to keep the detective away from her, which would stop his investigation but could result in increased press coverage, or they can ignore him and hope for the best. Jill tells Alice that she’s organizing funds to get her a mobile phone.

On the train ride home, Alice reflects on a memory of her and her mother Carol six years before, back when she was still Jennifer: They’ve packed all their belongings into a van and plan to leave behind Perry, Carol’s boyfriend. They both get into the van along with the driver, Danny. They move into a new cottage in Berwick and unpack their things. While Carol and Danny unpack upstairs, Jenny explores the house. She sees another girl of a similar age in the yard next door. Jenny goes upstairs and glimpses Carol and Danny having sex.
