Margaret is having a heated telephone conversation with a solicitor about an incident in which Victor is accused of having thrown a syringe into someone's buttock. She reveals that a conviction might be difficult as her husband has been dead for five months. While coming to terms with her husband's death as a hit and run victim, Margaret joins a church group clearing litter from roadsides. There she meets Glynis Holloway (Hannah Gordon), whose husband has also recently died. The two become good friends. Confiding to a priest, Father Blakey (William Osborne), Margaret pledges vengeance for Victor's death, vowing, "If they ever find the bastard who was at the wheel of that car I swear I'll kill him, with my bare hands if I have to and they can do what they like with me." Father Blakey tells Margaret of his hope that one day she finds the strength to forgive the person responsible.
