Catherine watches Tommy at funeral

The plain CID car is parked discreetly in the crematorium car park, representing the investigative presence of Andy Shepherd and the murder team. Its unmarked nature allows for a low-profile observation of the funeral proceedings, blending in with the other vehicles while ensuring that the police can monitor the event without drawing undue attention. The car symbolizes the dual role of the police: both as mourners and as investigators.

Before: Parked in the crematorium car park, with Andy Shepherd inside, observing the funeral preparations.

After: Remains parked as Andy Shepherd exits to oversee the funeral, later driving off with the other vehicles.
