Episode 1.7 was the seventh episode in Series 1 of Broadchurch.
Alec has flashbacks to a young boy on a beach and a young girl. He awakens in a hospital bed after having a heart arrhythmia during the chase. Ellie is there. She tells him that the doctors told her about his condition and how he'd had a previous attack and checked himself out against medical advice. He tells her he's been sick for about a year and a half and it has gotten worse in the last couple of months. She asks why he took the job knowing he was so sick. He tells her that they're close to finding the killer and asks her to not tell their supervisor. Ellie walks out.
Ellie briefs their team, telling them to go through everyone without an alibi or with a weak alibi and to find Susan's dog, Vince. Against medical advice, Hardy checks himself out of hospital and heads back to work. His supervisor informs him that she will be sending him to see the medical officer tomorrow and that he will most likely be relieved of duty. She also asks why he took the job if he knew he was that ill.
Ellie questions Susan Wright. She says that in addition to the skateboard, they found cigarettes matching Susan's brand in the sand around Danny's body. At first, Susan denies knowing anything. Ellie threatens to charge her and have her dog put to sleep when found. Reluctantly, Susan says that she was out walking her dog the night of Danny's murder when she saw the body from the cliff top. She made her way down to the beach and looked at Danny's body. Ellie finds it odd that Susan would stand over a dead boy's body and smoke cigarettes and then not tell anyone. Susan says that Danny was "beautiful" and that she knew his body would be found, but that she didn't want to get involved.
Ellie pressures Susan to talk about her previous run-in with the law. Susan says that she had two daughters. Her husband was molesting the older daughter. When he tried to do the same to the younger daughter, the older one intervened and he killed her. She claims she didn't know about the abuse until afterwards. When her husband was arrested he accused her of knowing. At the time, Susan was pregnant, and social services took the baby from her, finding her to be an unfit mother.
At the Echo, Maggie hears from a source about Hardy's medical problems. She gives Olly the chance to ask Hardy about it. Meanwhile, Hardy meets with Steve Connolly, desperate for any lead. Connolly tells him that Danny knew the killer and that it was someone "close to home". Connolly reminds Hardy that he had told him "she forgives you about the pendant" and he can tell that this means something to him. He also tells him that he saw that Hardy had been here before. Afterwards, Olly meets with Hardy to offer him the chance to explain his situation to them.
Beth and Mark meet with Paul Coates for some counseling. She says that they're due for a scan with the new baby but she's not sure if she wants to go through with it. She says that her heart is still full of grief for Danny and that she wishes she had been taken instead. Mark remembers the beautiful, happy girl Beth was when they first met and how Danny's murder has changed this. He says that he wonders if Beth wouldn't have been better off not meeting him. Reverend Coates advises Beth to go get the ultrasound and then make her decision. The Latimers go to the doctor's and seem happy afterwards.
At about 40 minutes into the episode, Alec is seen driving in a car. Although, he is sitting on the left side of the car, and there is no mention made that he is with someone, or that he is a taxi. In Britain, the steering wheel is on the right, so was the car driving itself?
