'Unforgotten' Season 5 Sees The Suspects Lie Themselves Sideways

Unforgotten's penultimate episode of Season 5 does not open with new lead Jess James or old lead Sunny Khan but with Murray, having reached the end of his long drive to the Welsh countryside and Llagavelly Farm. It seems idyllic: kids playing, women standing in the sunshine, issuing hard stares at this strange man intruding on their world. One of them, Niamh (Madeleine Potter), approaches and says she'll take him to David Bell, sighing that this must be about Precious, the only one who brought trouble and the only one who put another god (of money) before their "Dear Leader." Unfortunately, Bell is dead; it's an altar she takes him to; so much for answers here.

Jess: Jesus, we're in worse bloody trouble than I thought.

Back in London, Jess is trying to track Steve, hiding out at his buddy Nick's (Dan Tetsell). Not for long, though; Nick's face at learning Steve was bedding Jess' sister says this is beyond their friendship paygrade. Meanwhile, back at Sunny and Sal's, she's packed up, though she waited for him, partly to say goodbye but mostly to ask if his marriage proposal was ever really about them. She thinks they could ride this out, but the pregnancy made her realize how much she wants a kid and how much Sunny doesn't, and that's never going to work.
