The second episode of Channel 5 thriller The Drowning airs tonight, and we have an exclusive clip to tease what's in store for Jill Halfpenny's grief-stricken mother Jodie and the boy she believes to be her missing son.

The first episode saw Jodie take on a job at Daniel's school so she could keep close tabs on him after she first spots him. Though it has been nine years since her son Tom went missing at the lake, she's convinced Daniel is the same boy.

You can watch the preview for The Drowning episode two below.

The second episode of the four-part drama sees Jodie's family hold an intervention to declare the missing Tom officially dead. They think this will bring her closure, and she might finally be able to move on.

This doesn't work out quite as planned, however, as it only seems to make Jodie more determined to prove Daniel's identity.
