Lynn gets a job at a hair salon, lots of gossip. Lucy’s baby dies, shaken by her thuggish boyfriend Clark. People blame Lucy. She stays with Lynn but later moves out. Lynn sees Lucy drunk and angry at a pub. Then Lynn’s daughter Lola says she saw Lucy shake the baby. She makes a statement. Lucy is found dead in a car. Lola says she lied. Clark is released and moves his stuff out. Lynn returns to the drudgery of a stay-at-home mum.
