Olly discovers that Jack was jailed for sex with a minor years before he moved to Broadchurch. The police hold a public meeting to discuss the case, after which Steve confronts Hardy about the accuracy of his psychic information. Karen tells the Latimers that national press attention will help their case, and they agree to help her write a story. Olly reveals his information about Jack to the police. Susan confronts Nigel about a connection they share, and he angrily tells her to stay away. Hardy and Ellie question a defensive Jack about his sex-offender past. Echo editor Maggie Radcliffe discovers that Susan may really be someone named Elaine Jones, and Susan threatens Maggie in return. Hardy and Ellie disclose that Steve is a convicted criminal, and the Latimers cut Steve out of their lives. Hardy and Ellie question Rev. Coates, who discloses Danny and Tom's interest in computers and that he has no alibi. Olly confronts Jack publicly about his sex crime. Nigel, who witnesses their argument, tells Mark. After a pleasant dinner with Ellie and Joe, Hardy heads home and passes out on his bathroom floor. Hotel owner Becca takes him to the hospital, but Hardy checks himself out and returns to work on the case. News media coverage of Danny's murder backfires, and a horde of national press descends on Broadchurch and invades the Latimer's privacy. The memorial service is held. Jack arrives at the Latimer household with Danny's cell phone, and tries to convince them that he is not the killer.
