The character Rose was ultimately jailed in the series finale after viewers saw her knife Adam in the last seconds of episode three. In the last episode, DI Hammond (Jimmy Akingbola) accused Leah of killing her husband, but DI Bould’s (Justine Mitchell) resistance ultimately won out.

DI Hammond yelled at Leah in the questioning room, and he continued to be confident that she was the murderer of Adam. However, he also believed in Rose’s fabrications.

Nevertheless, DI Bould had other plans to establish Leah’s innocence.
