It all started when Sheridan innocently bumped into Stephen on Eden Street and this chance encounter suddenly triggers memories in Sheridan's subconscious mind and she starts to have strange flashbacks. A vivid and unsettling technicolor dream sequence shows Sheridan's dream to viewers about the murder of a little girl called Becky Campbell at a Birthday party, seemingly by a sinister looking young man with his face painted half black and half silver. That person was revealed to viewers to be Steven Richardson, Claire Fielding's karate teacher, who'd been slowly introduced to viewers over the previous few weeks, and is now an average, middle-aged man. Sheridan's nightmares about Stephen become more frightening and intense, so she tries to warn her friends to stay away from him. They all assume she is just being totally neurotic and that she should go and seek psychiatric help, but they were wrong to ignore her.
