Adam’s lies exposed

The police find out that Adam had been practising medicine under his late dad’s name and question Steph about it. It’s obvious she knew nothing about her husband’s past.

Later the police tell Alan they think Terence was blackmailing Adam about his deception but they point out this still gives Steph and Alan himself a motive for the murder.
