A diverse settimane dalla risoluzione del caso, Kenward fa i conti con il flop delle sue indagini. La polizia del Surrey non crede più in lui. Il vice capo incontra Agatha Christie: i due si salutano per sempre.

Mentre vengono alla luce le crepe della famiglia Christie, domenica 5 dicembre Kenward arriva nel bosco del villaggio di Albury, avendo ricevuto una segnalazione da un albergo: si tratta di un apparente falso allarme.
