Donna comes to Joanna and Paul’s house, and Joanna quickly realizes Donna is not there on official police business. After checking that Paul is out of earshot, Donna admits that Elizabeth sent her for reassurance. Joanna is pleased to see Donna because she wants a favor, and before Paul returns she casually tells Donna that Holly and Nick’s buried Bitcoin is worth more than a quarter of a billion pounds, which shocks Donna because the police have not told her.

When Paul joins them with drinks, Donna tries to interview Paul alone, but Joanna refuses to leave and makes clear that she intends to protect him. Donna explains why Paul could look suspicious: Holly is dead, Nick is missing, Paul could benefit from the business, and Paul’s family includes criminals. Paul accepts that he can look bad on paper, and he admits that he and Holly used to date, though Joanna says she already knew.

Donna presses on motive and inheritance, but Joanna forcefully argues that the case against Paul is weak. Joanna says Paul has no experience with explosives and was with Joanna throughout the four days before the wedding and on the day Holly died, so there can be no evidence linking him to the murder. Paul adds that he would only gain control of the company if Nick is dead as well, which turns the focus back toward the missing Nick and the police search for him.

A message then cheers Donna because Prince Edward has norovirus, freeing her from a royal protection duty. Joanna uses the moment to ask for access to The Compound CCTV for Paul, claiming that he wants to review how the business operates. Donna resists, but Joanna pressures her by reminding her that Donna is not officially supposed to be there, so Donna agrees.

Before anything else can happen, Donna takes another call and learns that someone has just tried to shoot Jason Ritchie. That news immediately changes her priorities, and she rushes out, ending the interview before it can go any further.
