new Detective Dominic Chambers recently took on the case but there are still no leads despite everything John and Mary continue to believe their daughter will return in the evening during dinner John told his wife that he had taken on a new project Mary who works as a kindergarten teacher shared stories about her day in return John knowledgeable about technology often reminisces about showing his daughter how various mechanisms work he once gave her a model train as a gift Mary struggles just as much talking to the daughter's photograph every night before going to bed whenever they

leave the house the couple ensures that Flyers about cla's disappearance are always prominently displayed Jon recalls how in the initial days after CLA vanished his wife refused to eat and began relying on sleeping pills they both lost the meaning of life while Mary was at work caring for children John an electrician received a call to fix an electrical panel at a hair salon he struck up a conversation with one of the employees noting that she was about the same age as his daughter but the young woman was not local and hadn't heard about CLA read

later on the street witnessing a quarrel between a couple Jon remembered his wife's words that if they had been gentler with CLA she might not have run away at one point Jon noticed a girl who looked strikingly like CLA and ran after her ignoring everyone and everything around him however the girl disappeared unable to get the image out of his mind Jon drove around the city that evening he eventually stopped at the cafe owned by his old friend Bella they embraced Bella helps distribute Flyers about the missing CLA all the locals already know John and

whenever someone new appears he tells them about his daughter in the hope that someone might have seen her Claire ran away at 14 selling her laptop phone and everything else of value she owned beforehand Jon admits that his daughter was unhappy and that it was his and Mary's fault but what kind of father would he be if he gave up trying to find her many blame cla's parents and Jon doesn't deny their responsibility CLA was a difficult teenager she stole got into conflicts with others and had problems at school Jon is deeply grateful to Bella

for her support this is a shared tragedy for their small town it is now what unites the couple the 10-year-long search for their daughter Jon's colleagues also support him as much as they can Jon who keeps Claire's photo in his phone at all times couldn't reach his wife and started to worry he rushed home where he found his wife in tears of joy Mary claimed that their daughter had returned at first John didn't believe it Mary explained that CLA had been waiting for her outside their house earlier that day hearing this Jon felt like he

couldn't breathe his wife tried to calm him down seeing CLA now a 24-year-old woman Jon still couldn't believe that the person in front of him was his daughter memories flashed before his eyes CLA didn't know how to act and wanted to leave but her mother wouldn't let her in a panic Jon ran out of the house unable to process what was happening he returned late making Mary worry by that time CLA was already gone Mary believes they shouldn't pressure CLA to avoid repeating past mistakes but Jon doesn't believe it's their daughter he doesn't recog ize

her at all Mary argued that Claire had grown up and changed a new morning began Mary looked happier than ever baking buns and a pie John asked his wife what their daughter had said during their first meeting according to Mary Clare only apologized and cried Mary is absolutely sure it's their daughter she knew the moment she looked into her eyes but Jon is more concerned about what happened during those 10 years later he watched through the window as the person claiming to be their daughter approached their house Mary offered CLA her favorite lemon pie still

looking confused Jon joined the family breakfast persistently demanding that the girl explain where she had been all these years and how she had managed to leave no Trace fearing she might scare CLA off Mary stated that they didn't have to talk about it now but unlike his wife Jon wasn't willing to pretend everything was fine CLA simply kept asking for forgiveness over and over again Jon recalled a time in the past when Clare had taken something and fallen into a deep sleep the couple had panicked calling an ambulance and trying desperately to wake her up

when she finally came to Jon didn't hide his anger in the present Mary told her husband that Clare wanted to go to her room of course everything there had stayed the same as it was the couple watched as CLA examined her room Jon thought about the past trying to figure out if the girl before him could really be their daughter Mary hugged CLA and told her that everything would be like it was before later CLA revealed that she now had her own home she also confessed that 10 years ago she had run away with her

boyfriend who had been her dealer they lived together for several years until Clare realized that the relationship was destroying her now Clare blamed only herself for what had happened and asked her parents for forgiveness after breaking up with her boyfriend CLA hadn't returned to them because she had been too ashamed Mary hugged her daughter saying that it was all in the past but Jon looking at this girl still couldn't accept that she was there Claire at dinner Jon asked her what had happened after she had left her boyfriend CLA didn't want to talk about it

nor did Mary who was elated and unwilling to hear anything negative JN insisted they go to the police and have CLA take a DNA test that way they could know for sure the girl didn't mind unlike Mary who didn't want the police and press interfering with their Newfound family reunion CLA recalled one of her birthdays it seemed that if she weren't their daughter she wouldn't have been able to recount such details but Jon was still filled with doubt later he tried to calmly talk to his wife he just felt that the girl wasn't their daughter

perhaps she knew CLA and her whereabouts which was why they needed to go to the police as soon as possible however Mary refused to acknowledge this she couldn't bear the thought of their daughter disappearing again Jon tried to piece together the past and the present where was the truth and where was the LIE he couldn't even concentrate on work and decided to follow the girl who worked at the cafe Mary was always with her Jon was convinced that the girl was lying and took her picture then he began showing the photo to Cafe patrons asking

if they recognized the girl no one did moreover some even started insulting Jon saying the girl didn't really resemble the photos of his daughter from 10 years ago JN didn't understand why his wife refused to see the truth they had searched for CLA all these years knowing she had changed but the heart couldn't be deceived CLA approached JN who stated that they had nothing to talk about until she took the DNA test the girl agreed though she understood her mother wouldn't be happy about it before leaving the girl handed Jon a gift the model train

her childhood toy Jon didn't know what to do who was this girl and why didn't his wife see the deception Mary remained adamantly opposed to contacting the police insisting that they were lucky they had waited 10 years for this but Jon continued to insist that this wasn't their daughter whoever this girl was she might know where the real CLA was now Mary wouldn't change her mind doing everything possible to restore her relationship with CLA they could be a family again detective chambers called the couple stating that they had a lead surveillance footage from 7 years

ago facial recognition software had detected a possible match but only cla's parents could could confirm if it was really her Mary didn't want to watch the footage believing it was pointless she didn't want to relive the nightmare they had endured for the past 10 years but JN insisted on watching it the video was blurry Mary immediately declared that it wasn't CLA and walked away John went to the address where the footage had been recorded and found out that CLA was last seen there about 7 years ago she introduced herself as Jasmine no one knew her

boyfriend's name Jon showed up at cla's workplace demanding the truth and asking her to stop tormenting them Mary stood up for CLA asking her husband to stop but he kept repeating that this wasn't their daughter suddenly Mary admitted that she knew this wasn't their daughter moreover she was certain that Claire had been dead for a long time yes she ran away from home but she hadn't been so unhappy as to leave forever CLA would have come to her senses and returned if she didn't it could only mean she was gone this girl who was pretending

to be Claire must have known her but it didn't matter anymore Mary was ready to turn a blind eye to the truth and live in the illusion that their daughter had come back Jon refused to accept that their real daughter would never return to them and broke down in tears Mary hugged him this wasn't supposed to happen no parent deserved this the couple sat in the car in silence for a long time all these years John had been Mary's support never letting her lose hope but now he was broken that evening they had dinner together

as a family Mary shared that CLA had enrolled in a hairdressing College as a part-time student of course JN couldn't genuinely feel happy for CLA knowing she was just a liar and nothing could change that fact Mary was genuinely trying but for what later John directly asked the girl if they really meant that much to her they celebrated Mary's birthday at a restaurant playing the part of a happy family after the celebration Mary thanked her husband for doing all this for her the couple confessed their love for each other one day John met with Bella

when she asked how he was he replied that everything was fine meanwhile Mary wasn't worried about anything enjoying shopping with CLA at home everyone preferred to act as if nothing unusual was happening after dinner Clare approached John and admitted that many years ago she had met CLA in Manchester they had looked so much alike that many people thought they were twins unlike CLA this girl had no parents or home but CLA had traded all that for an immoral lifestyle and substances which ultimately destroyed her the girl said she had never understood CLA she hadn't wanted

to hurt anyone she just wanted to have a family and feel cared for hearing this Jon could barely contain his emotions only now did he fully realize that CLA would never return this was reality all John could do was accept it but soon the detective called him again the police had found new leads including cla's bracelet the question now was where her body was and who was responsible for this for 10 years JN had lived on Hope but now it had completely crumbled Mary however continued to live in the illusion that their daughter had returned
