While Sarah was delighted to meet Gordon, questions about Nellie’s life and death remain.

Kirsty and Sarah go to see Mavis, Nellie’s sister, who tells them that she thinks Nellie was raped, which led to her breakdown and incarceration.

Mavis tells Sarah about the day she was born, and how the family wanted to keep her but couldn’t. She is amazed to hear that Sarah’s middle name, Annemarie, is the name Nellie gave her.

She describes Nellie’s care after Porirua closed, and how the care homes treated her terribly.
