Together, they move through confusion, grief, and unexpected connection, and uncover new discoveries along the way. Louise also gets a new match of her own.

'We are the stories we tell about ourselves and the stories told about us'
In this final episode, Louise talks to some of the people whose stories have shaped this season but whose voices we've yet to hear. She sits down with her newest half-brother to hear what it was like to become part of the wider bio family.
Louise takes a road trip with Neil to discover her roots.
As Louise’s matches grow, she looks at how these new groups can extend, blend, and impact people beyond the centre.
In this bonus episode, Louise continues her 'Send This To...' series. She speaks with Professor of Forensic Science Dr. Claire Glynn, an expert in forensic biology, forensic DNA analysis, and Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy (FIGG). Claire explains what we’re looking for with DNA test results, and what we can potentially discover from even distant relative matches. As the title suggests, the idea is to ‘send this to’ anyone it could be relevant for.
