Paul and Ruth leave Marchlands, with Ruth vowing to return. After they have gone, Evelyn tells Robert she knows all about his affair with Liz Runcie, Olive's mother, and makes him reveal the true details of Alice's death, which they decide to keep secret so as not to destroy the family. In 1987, Helen sees Alice, who saves Scott after he has had a fit in his bath. She says nothing, but agrees the family should move out. Eddie takes Amy to see Alice's grave before they go, to prove that he believes her. She tells him that Alice writes ASKOR on surfaces, and in 2010 Ruth sees the same messages, realising it means "Ask O.R." – ask Olive Runcie. Olive then tells Ruth that Alice died after running away when she caught Robert and Liz having sex. Nisha and Mark arrive to console Ruth as she takes their baby into the woods.

In 1968 Paul and Ruth reconcile, though after Brian has boasted of sleeping with Ruth, Paul punches him. Robert tells his son he thinks he should take Ruth out of the area to make a fresh start, but she is still convinced that there was more to her daughter's drowning than the official verdict — that she wandered off whilst out walking with her grandfather. In 1987, as Scott begins to have epileptic fits, Eddie brings Father Boyle in to exorcise Amy's room, though this leads to a row between Helen and Eddie, causing Amy to run away into the woods, where she is saved from falling into the lake by Olive. In 2010, both Nisha and Ruth hear ghostly noises, though Ruth keeps from Nisha that she was Alice's mother. Intrigued by Mark's visits to Olive, Nisha goes to see her and learns that, as a teenager, he lost his virginity to Olive. However he left the area before Olive gave birth to a baby that died, a fact which Olive never told him. Nisha sends Mark to see her.

Harry and Eve still believe Lucy's death was no accident, and Harry is upset to learn that she had willing sex with Dwight. Eve asks Tom, who once had a crush on Lucy, if she went with the American to defy her strict father, Albert, but Tom will not be drawn. Harry also discovers a 'hate' letter Eve intended to send Lucy, as she was jealous of the affair with Dwight about which both Tom and Vivien knew. However in 1975, Clare is surprised when Vivien apparently fails to recall Lucy after seeing her grave stone. Clare asks Tom for information, but he is also reluctant to say much. The women obtain the recently deceased Eve's letters, including one swearing her little sister to secrecy. Clare is disturbed to believe her mother is hiding something, as the ghostly presence continues. In 2012, Luke starts a fire after seeing the ghost - a fact which gives Paul ammunition for his custody claim, a claim Barry sets out to discredit.

After Lucy has perished in the fire, the village comes together for her funeral but Eve is not convinced the fire was an accident. She searches the wreckage and finds Dwight's lighter, though when she confronts him, he denies any foul play. In 1975, Clare is concerned that her mother may be having another nervous breakdown and is relieved when John, her father, comes to see them. He wants Vivien to return to London with him for treatment, but Vivien believes she can resolve matters by staying at Lightfields. However, as more uncanny things start to happen, Clare worries that they are linked to Vivien's previous stay at Lightfields, and that a ghost may be trying to get through to her. In 2012, Luke goes missing and is found by Lucy's grave in the churchyard. When he tells Pip that he has seen what he believed to have been the tooth fairy incarnate as a young girl, Pip understands that Lucy's ghost may well be trying to communicate with the child.

Evelyn persuades Paul and a reluctant Ruth to seek help from a priest, Father Boyle, but his main argument, that the couple should try for another child, does not comfort Ruth. Seeing Alice's crucifix on her headstone prompts Ruth to ask for a police investigation, but again she gets no satisfaction. Helen and Eddie take Amy to see a psychiatrist, on whose advice they read up on mental disorders, but to Amy, Alice is only too real, complete with hand prints, and Amy becomes annoyed with her 'friend' for getting her into trouble. Laid up with a broken leg, Nisha discovers physical evidence of Alice having lived in the house as well as hearing ghostly noises. Mark advertises for someone to come and help and the advert is answered by Ruth.

Harry accuses Eve of starting the fire out of jealous after finding the hate letter, but Albert and Martha believe in her innocence. She is shocked to find out that Dwight has a wife and children, but he denies killing Lucy to prevent her exposing him. Eve also prevents Albert from killing himself out of guilt, for disowning Lucy after he knew she had had sex. In 1975, Clare is perturbed by her mother's claims that Lucy is coming to get her after ghostly messages are found around the house. Vivien calls on Tom who tells her how Lucy died, a fact which Vivien seems to have completely erased from her memory. He assures her she was in no way to blame, but she is not convinced. In 2012, Luke tells Pip the ghost is his guardian angel, but the old man is nervous and begs to differ. That night, they both see Lucy's ghost with her dress on fire. Lorna, aware that Paul may use dirty tricks for his custody claim, demands to know what is happening so Pip tells her and Barry the whole story.

In 1968, Ruth and Paul are told that his low sperm count makes it unlikely they will have other children. Upset, Ruth leaves the village and meets some students, with whom she gets stoned at a party, though she turns down the offer of sex with a lad called Brian. Eddie becomes more and more convinced as he talks to Amy that Alice is indeed a ghost and not an imaginary friend, locating news of her death in the local library archive. In 2010, Nisha gives birth to a daughter, whom she names Alice. Ruth stays on to help and hears evidence of a poltergeist. Scott tells Nisha that, in his teens, Mark had a fling with Olive Runcie, who would seem to be an elective mute, speaking when it suits her.

In 1944, as Harry goes off to war, Albert tells Eve the family is moving to Lincolnshire. Dwight comes to apologize for leaving Lucy alone in the bar, before he has a fatal motor-cycle crash. In 1975, Vivien sees the ghost of Lucy, which leads her to the remains of the burnt out barn, where she remembers how she saw Lucy go up in flames - but did nothing to help. She attempts an over-dose, but is saved by Tom. In 2012, Pip tells Lorna and Barry he believes the ghost is exacting revenge as he was the fire-starter, though his memory is dim. Paul tries to snatch Luke, but the ghost prevents him and ultimately the family come to see that Lucy is a benign presence, as Vivien arrives to tell them who really started the blaze.
