Sinead tells DC Jones that Laurie twists things, and that's why she kept quiet when Laurie raped her the first time. She says that she thought the first time would be a one off. DC Jones informs Sinead that Laurie has been arrested. Laurie has his fingerprint taken and is placed into a cell. D.S. Moore interviews Laurie. Laurie tells her that Sinead is possessive, suspicious and has publicly accused him of cheating. DS Moore informs Laurie that the interview is being monitored by officers who will check up on every little part of his story. D.C. Khan visits Sally at the school to interview her. Sally tells DC Khan about the sexual harassment allegation. DC Khan informs Sally that Laurie is being accused of rape. Laurie continues to try lie to DS Moore, who appears not to be falling for his lies about their failed marriage. DC Khan interviews Mitchell, who is unable to say much other than that Sinead is a "wild one" and Laurie is "one lucky guy".

DS Moore points out that there was a recent sexual harassment allegation at school, to which Laurie's solicitor points out was dismissed. DS Moore asks what Sienna would say about the rape accusation. Laurie tells her about Sienna assaulting him. Brody answers the door to DC Khan, and informs her that Sinead has made a rape allegation against Laurie. Sienna tells DC Khan that Sinead was upset and was about to tell her something. DC Khan tells Sienna that she doesn't seem to be a reliable witness, and Sienna tells her to let Laurie make a formal complaint. Sienna tells DC Khan that she will confess if it gets Laurie in prison. Laurie describes Sienna and Sinead as "irrational, hysterical, frenzied" and his solicitor warns him to watch himself. DS Moore asks Laurie why he didn't mention being attacked by Sienna until the arrest, but the solicitor tells Laurie that he doesn't have to answer. Laurie snaps that he'll answer what he wants and tells DS Moore that he felt sorry for Sienna. DS Moore tells Laurie that his story seems suspicious.

DC Khan interviews Nancy, who vents about Sienna. She is shocked to learn that Sinead has accused Laurie of rape. Sinead looks at photos from her social media. Sinead lies that the attack happened on 1st April, telling DC Jones that she is positive. Diane tells DC Jones that Sinead wasn't her usual self, whilst Laurie seemed panicked before apologising. She struggles to remember Laurie's exact words, but remembers that he said "I'm sorry if I got carried away". DC Jones interviews Tony, who also remembers the same thing. DS Moore goes over Laurie's statement, and Laurie confirms that the sex was consensual. She confronts him with what Diane and Tony recall Laurie saying. Laurie's solicitor questions Diane and Tony's reliability, but is quiet when DS Moore reveals what they recalled Laurie saying. Sinead returns home and Diane, Tony and Scott comfort her. Laurie is smug when DS Moore asks what he was doing on 1st April. Sinead goes through the diary and realises that Laurie was on the camping trip on 1st April.
