Ryan is relocated to a Manchester police training center. His reassignment will involve two organized crime rings, one specializing in boosting luxury cars, the other importing drugs and controlled, the police believe, by Ezra Michaels, who moves the merchandise through the same port in Liverpool. The training center is interested in Ryan’s relationship with his older brother, who has already been pinched twice for drug dealing. They promise Ryan that once he has studied the crime network, he could be useful as a “foot soldier,” or someone willing to go undercover and infiltrate the organization.
It is evening. Kelly and Todd discuss the implications of Schrödinger’s cat while they eat Chinese takeout. Jen casually asks Todd how school was—Todd is confused, as Jen has seldom paid any attention to his “stuff.” She assures him that everything he does interests her.
When Todd leaves to meet Clio at a sports pub, Jen follows. She lets herself in the back door of the bar and watches as Clio and Todd play snooker while Jones and Ezra watch. They are joined by a woman Jen’s age with graying hair in a ponytail. Jones calls her “Nicola.” Todd is introduced to her—yet Jen knows he has been texting her.
