Vinny makes a panicked call to Pollard to warn him. However, obliviously rifling through Amit’s files in Holdgate for a killer clue, Pollard pays no heed to his phone ringing on silent until it’s too late.

Meanwhile, Amy processes Matty’s desire for a scaled-down wedding and tries to hide a flicker of disappointment.
