Driving to their seaside home Rex wants to stop and look at the house where,twelve years earlier, they lived after being introduced by Rex's extrovert,drug-taking sister Biba. Biba had led Karen to believe that she and Rex were orphans,left the house by their parents, but when Max,their father,arrived demanding their eviction,Biba pushed him downstairs,killing him and then shot her boyfriend,who wants to bring in the police. Karen believes she and Rex should tell Alice the reason for his incarceration but,before she can do so,gets a call from Rex's cell-mate,whom she goes to meet and who wants money to prevent him from announcing that Rex took the rap for somebody else.
