Shetland on ABC and ABC iview S8E3 – Tosh is surprised to see Calder at her morning briefing, but welcomes the support on an increasingly sinister case.
A strange votive offering at the crime scene takes them to the house of Tom Knox, a nervous and reclusive figure whose family have a longstanding feud with the Bains. Tom is a little too guarded on his relationship with Ellen.
Sandy visits a mental health facility where Ellen briefly stayed before moving to London. She was admitted by her cousin Heather and looked after by Dr Azir Sadat. Both blame Ellen’s breakdown on her hard partying lifestyle, but there is something beneath the surface of Heather and Azir’s relationship.
Calder confronts Amma about the cigarettes, but she denies any connection to Ellen. Calder remains unconvinced and has her London team run a background check, keeping it secret from Tosh.
The team wake to a call from the mortuary and a horrifying development in the case. By the time they’ve identified Tom Knox as the main suspect, the news is out and they must race to find him. In the interview room, Tom is horrified by the accusation and comes clean about his relationship with Ellen.
The team are back to square one and the clock is ticking. Sandy recognises someone on the hospital CCTV. A resident who lives near to the crime scene with a previous conviction for animal cruelty.
Tosh and Calder race to a remote, eerie croft to find it empty, before a fire on the distant hillside reveals the horror of the situation.
A rattled and exhausted Calder returns to the hotel to find an unwelcome figure from her childhood waiting with a shocking announcement, as the past and present collide.
