Ep 35. Episode 35

Rachel Reid is still missing and things are taking a toll on her sister Niamh and Dad Liam. In a bid to broaden their hunt for the missing schoolgirl, Detective Sergeant Nikki Grogan and Sergeant Angela Tyrell help the Reids prepare a television appeal. Despite agreeing to do the television appeal, Liam is finding it particularly tough as he tries to put everything into words. Seeing Liam on the brink, Niamh calls in Patricia Hennessy as some welcome support for her dad. Patricia tries to gently talk some sense into Liam, encouraging him not to let Niamh do the appeal on her own. Paudge is feeling the pressure when he receives an unwelcome phone call. He tells an inquisitive Sharon that it's just a builder looking for payment and would be sorted once the rent starts flowing on the property, but is there more to the story than Paudge is letting on? Meanwhile, Sharon is still getting a nasty reception at work and when a dead rat is placed in her locker, Paudge tries his best to support her. As Liam and Niamh finally make the appeal, it's not just the public who see it - Rachel is watching it too. Will her family's emotional plea be a turning point for the troubled teen?
