Tracy Robinson's in the hot seat with the police who are making their way through the suspects list as they investigate Nate's murder.
As she denies any part in her ex's death, the evidence says otherwise thanks to Nate's real killer, John Sugden.
When the pathologist supplies a date of death, the police reveal they suspect that Nate was killed the very day he set out to start afresh in Shetland.
Tracy tells the officers she was with her sister that day, secretly hoping that she can get Vanessa to tell them the same.

Later, at the vets', it's crunch time when DS Walsh calls in and asks Vanessa to corroborate Tracy's alibi in an official statement.
