Shei pushes Dora to speak up about Sinde

Pressured by Shei, Dora confesses to Evangeline and Leo that Sinde pushed her down the stairs. Evangeline doesn’t buy it, and Leo refuses to take it up with the police. Even Dora is not entirely convinced that she saw Sinde. Will she ever remember the truth?
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!
Katherine and Cyrus find a way to keep their secret under wraps

Evangeline's deceptive game

Evangeline's going all-out to make Leo believe she’s committed to their marriage, but Alice warns her that she won’t be able to keep up the facade for long. What will happen when Leo is finally onto her? Evangeline is playing with fire and we’re there for it!
Lizzy’s mind games

In a shock revelation, we learn that it’s not Gigi’s kidnapper Q who's been sending her the creepy texts, but Lizzy, manipulating Gigi’s past to throw her off her game at EAGC!
Tehi’s past comes back to haunt him

Carol-Marie worries that Tehi’s blackmail will derail her campaign, and begs Evangeline to intervene. Evangeline digs deep into Tehi’s troubled past to ensure that he’ll never threaten Carol-Marie again.
