Megan was determined to leave and never speak to anyone from that life, including Lorraine, ever again. And we also learn that Megan’s old associate is called Lorraine and is pretty adamant about dredging up Megan’s old life as Cassie.
We learn quickly that Ray - seemingly a former war photographer, based on his dialogue with Fester - probably had his camera stolen because he has pictures of Carlton Flynn on there, wielding what looks like a sword in some woodland ruins (he has copies backed up in the cloud, which is what we see). The next scene is of a photographer named Raymond, who works for someone called Fester, getting jumped and having his camera stolen, and in the next, Megan attends her daughter Laura’s tennis match and spots a familiar woman in the crowd, who follows her to the bathroom and addresses her as “Cassie”. This is a lot, obviously, and the tone is all over the place. As Broome and his partner, Erin, leave Del’s home, we get a flurry of exposition about this that also reveals a) Erin is Broome’s ex-wife and has a child with another man, and b) years after being unable to solve Stewart’s disappearance, Broome slept with his mother. Del is convinced that something bad has happened to Carlton in a way that speaks to him having more knowledge than he’s letting on here, but it’s the date that seems significant to Broome - April 16th is when he disappeared, which is eerily similar to that of the only case Broome couldn’t solve, the disappearance of someone named Stewart Green. A lot of shows would devote half an episode or more to all this - Stay Close episode 1 barely manages six minutes, so eager is it to get viewers engaged, and then it switches focus immediately to Detective Mike Broome, a copper investigating the disappearance of Carlton Flynn, the son of apparently well-connected Del Flynn, who sounds like a cartoon version of a Cockney geezer but lives in a very lavish home with Carlton’s step-mother, Marlene, with whom the young man apparently doesn’t see eye to eye.
