Their father is just worried that because Chris died in their pool, it'll make them look suspicious and will make them look bad in front of everyone.

** The bovver boys that [[spoiler: stab Pete while he and Tom tried following them]] have no connection to either Jenny's whereabouts or Chris' murder.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Ironically, [[spoiler: ''[[PaperTiger Jojo]]'', of all people; While cleaning up the crime scene in his pool, he fishes out Sophie's pendant, which fell into the water during her and Chris' struggle, and put it into Sia's jewelry box, assuming it to be hers. When Emma, having retrieved it from the Marshall residence of her own accord when Sophie was watching over a hospitalised Henry, presents it to Jenny and Tom, it suddenly dawns upon Tom that Sophie was responsible for killing Chris.]]

[[spoiler:[[ManipulativeBitch She was counting on this trope to make her sound like she's willing to turn herself in..]]]]

* MyBelovedSmother: Sophie is one to the point that she gets in the way of Henry's questioning by attempting to demand to Emma that she should accompany him and that he doesn't have to do it. [[spoiler:Having your son be questioned about a case that relates to a crime you did certainly would make one feel defensive.

What Rachel would've done if she still had time is unknown, Helen never says anything (though she keeps the CCTV tape intact out of guilt), Bobby kills his own former friend Helen and kidnaps a girl to keep them quiet, and Sophie attempts to manipulate Tom and Jenny into letting her get away with it.]]

[[spoiler:It turns out he tapped her phone so that he could see and hear her conversations with Chris, and it's enough for her to want to stay with Helen for a while]].
