Summary
Carla Connor is haunted by the trauma of an abusive past relationship with Cate Henri whose name resurfaces when DS Lisa Swain arrives to investigate Cate’s connection to a possible murder and disappearance case. As Carla is forced to confront painful memories of coercive control, isolation, and emotional abuse through a series of flashbacks, Lisa’s calm and compassionate presence gradually becomes a source of safety and stability in her otherwise chaotic world.
While helping the investigation, Carla begins forming an intense emotional connection with Lisa, who sees beyond her guarded exterior, and after Lisa rescues a drunken, emotionally overwhelmed Carla and takes her home, it becomes clear that their bond may become the lifeline Carla desperately needs.

Summary
Fancy some lunch? It was a simple question really. Although im not sure Lisa was thinking this was how her lunch break was going to go but Carla really, really, really wanted lunch.
An alternative spin on todays episode.
I said it on twitter, that kitchen island is so pretty and unused. So I changed that.

Summary
She’s spent so long fighting a brain that seems to work against her. Being tormented as she overthinks every word, every action, constantly chasing some sense of worthiness that's always just out of reach.
And she's so tired of it all.
So tonight, she doesn't want to have to choose what to be, what to do.
She doesn't want to have to think at all.
She wants that control to be ripped from her grasp. Wants instead to place her mind entirely in Carla's hands, to let herself be unravelled till she knows nothing but her. She needs to let go of everything else, to become suggestible and pliant for Carla to shape however she pleases, to be taken however she wishes. Until she knows she's exactly what Carla wants — until there's no more room for doubt.
Until she's good.
(Or: Set after Carla goes to visit Lisa in her office in the 25/06/25 episode, Lisa plans an evening taking care of Carla, and Carla finds a way to take care of her in return - an exploration of Lisa's need to be useful, her struggles with letting Carla in, and most importantly, her praise kink.)
