The Drowning - Episode Guide

Jodie believes a teenager she has seen is her son, who has been missing for nine years, and follows the boy, discovering where he lives and where he goes to school. But when the police and her ex-husband dismiss her passionate conviction, she takes matters into her own hands and begins to infiltrate and inveigle herself into the lives of the teen and his father.

Jodie searches for proof that Daniel is her missing son, but Mark interrupts her search and dismisses her offer of future lessons. It remains clear that there is no mother around, but she is unable to make any more progress with her search. Ade comes under pressure from the document forgers to come up with more money for Jodie's papers, and when she tries to help, it leads to a run-in with her brother.

Jodie makes a plan with Daniel to source him a passport and flee the country for a fresh start, but when she returns from visiting the forgers, he is nowhere to be seen. In a panic, she storms into the school looking for him the following morning, but she finds herself confronted by the staff about her fake papers and is forced to make a quick exit.

With the confusion around Daniel's identity increasing, secrets start to unearth, and it seems someone close will stop at nothing to protect themselves. As the truth about Tom's disappearance starts to come to light, Jodie has to face what happened all those years ago head on, at the scene where it all took place.
