Shei comes clean to Evangeline

Despite her deceitful efforts to control the situation, Shei feels the net closing in. Detective Beryl has managed to trace Sinde to the hospital and it won’t be long until they connect the dots. Shei finally crumbles and confesses all to Evangeline — including the fact that Sinde is dead!
