Despite these complications, the episode managed to answer any questions and give context to the situations surrounding the 2020 episode.

*In 2020, Darren Osborne finds the body of Jordan Price and breaks down in the kitchen, believing that he was murdered by Charlie Dean.

Ella grabbed a knife from the kitchen and stabbed Jordan in the back, killing him.
