Confectioner continues to toy with Lennox and Drummond in a curious game of cat-and-mouse; sensing he's getting under their skin, he pushes further still, bringing up Lennox's drinking problem. The surveillance that Ray and Amanda set up pays off. Ray races to save a child.
Lennox and Drummond head to Leeds Police Station where they meet up with DCI Ken Custer to discuss their findings on the Confectioner; Lennox knows that in order to defeat the killer, he himself must regress, confess his shame and show his weakness.
