It's the day of Ben's interview with a psychiatrist, as arranged by the CPS following his recent attempt to frame Phil for Stella's death. The high-pressure day intensifies when Shirley announces that she wants both Ben and Jay to do a reading at Heather's funeral. Soon afterwards, Ben asks Phil for guidance on what he should say in his interview today. The teenager gets angry when Phil suggests that he should blame everything on Kathy's death, and he soon shocks his father by wondering if it'd be best to just confess to Heather's murder.

Ben questions if he was born evil.
Later, as they arrive at the psychiatrist's office, Phil advises Ben to blame him for everything that led up to the stalking and framing incidents - admitting that he loves him and doesn't want to lose him. As the interview gets under way, Ben comes close to confessing his guilt over Heather, telling the psychiatrist that he was born evil. Phil isn't happy when he learns that Ben has painted himself as a psychopath in the interview. However, when they return home, there's a bigger problem to deal with as Shirley reveals that the picture frame she gave to Heather on her hen night is missing. Shirley says that she's already phoned the police as it must have been the murder weapon…
