Episode 2: On their last day, the two women move closer to the events that will seal their fate. An ordinary day that would be otherwise long be forgotten but for its tragic ending.

Friends of the two women recall glimpses of Vivienne and Beth. Vivienne sitting at the desk at the Community House, looking out the window. Beth meeting a friend and talking over her problems – chief of which is the affair with Fergus Cameron. It is going nowhere. Beth sees no future in their relationship continuing the way things are. It is time for an ultimatum.

When Fergus is late home from work that night, Vivienne knows he has been with her. The next thing, Fergus and Vivienne arrive at the local hospital. Fergus is bleeding from a number of wounds but neither he nor his wife will say how he got them. Fergus would later tell police that he and Vivienne returned from the hospital, discussed ending their marriage, then she drove him up the road to stay at his sister’s house.
