Summary: Never mind anomalies, the boys are having enough problems dealing with the troubles in their personal lives...
Following the revelations about Helen, Nick is trying to move on but is finding he’s rather out of practice in some areas and doesn’t enjoy the scrutiny of making his mistakes in public.
Stephen is trying to repair the fractured friendships with both Nick and Abby, unsure of how to make up for past mistakes.
Connor meanwhile is quite happy to admit that he fancies Abby but the thought that he might be falling in love with her is a bit more daunting.
They’re almost relieved when an unusual, dead creature is discovered in the grounds of a luxury country hotel. They should have remembered though how quickly things can turn dangerous.
