Shetland Season 7 Episode 2 (BBC One Wed 17 August 2022)
The search for the missing person becomes more urgent following the discovery of an unidentified body, and Perez investigates the complicated past of the Cairns family.
While Tosh and Sandy are drawn to the peculiar behaviour of the local librarian Murry Rankin, Perez follows Danny Cairns on a perilous journey through his secret past.
As Perez tries to reassure Rachel that the horrific discovery might not be linked to her son Connor’s disappearance, Danny suddenly flees Shetland, raising suspicions.
In Ayrshire, Danny ambushes the Waldron family, accusing them of kidnapping his son. With Perez on Danny’s trail, the altercation with the Waldrons leads the desperate father towards the criminal underworld and a shocking revelation about his past.
Meanwhile, back in Shetland, Rachel’s hope is tested while Bryd desperately hunts for Connor. Just as Bryd’s about to make a startling confession to the police, she’s lured away by a surprising text.
Perez and Meg grow closer but their happiness is interrupted by a chilling call – another body has been found and, this time, the victim is all too easy to identify.
Perez is played by Douglas Henshall, Danny by Andrew Whipp, Murry by Stuart McQuarrie, Tosh by Alison O’Donnell, Sandy by Steven Robertson, Rachel by Shauna Macdonald, Bryd by Sorcha Groundsell and Meg by Lucianne McEvoy. Also starring Simone Lahbib, Lauren Conroy, Lewis Howden, Angus Miller, Anne Kidd, Laurie Brett, Patrick Robinson, Anneika Rose, Erin Armstrong and Ladi Emeruwa.
