Jerry calls the police. Det. Chief Insp. Patterson arrives as does Doctor McKay who states that Lynn Johnson died from a blow to the head. Annie shows new Newton & Ridley house manager Keith Adams round the Rovers. Ray and Jerry are interviewed by the police. Patterson is suspicious of Ray, especially when he says he was just doing odd jobs all morning. Press photographer Eddie Royle spreads the news about an unknown murdered woman being found in No. 9.
