Grief brings Rachel and Musa together
The discovery of Manu's body shatters Rachel's world, pushing her into the depths of despair. As she grapples with her grief and questions her faith, Musa's attempts to console her draw them closer, causing tensions at home with Ruth.
Joe confronts Hope
Tensions rise as Hope's involvement with Cain's activities comes into question. Her husband, Joe, stumbles upon her secret exchange with Cain's associates at the church and confronts her about her lies, leading to a tense moment that exposes strains in their relationship.
Deborah's debt and downfall
Deborah's ambitious plans to invest in a new venture take a dark turn when she falls victim to a scam. As if that's not enough, she used money that she stole from Cain! Ruth forces her to own up and agree to pay back the money, plus a little extra. Tough times ahead for Debs!
Ruth's impossible task
Cain's demands intensify as he assigns Ruth an overwhelming task - cleaning an impossible amount of money within a week. Ruth finds herself cornered as Cain threatens her, leveraging her involvement in the missing money. The pressure mounts as the web of deceit tightens around her.
Detective Dan's dilemma
Detective Dan is handed a critical ultimatum by his chief - to gather concrete evidence against Cain within a week. Jonah, caught between loyalty to his father and a desire to help Dan, provides crucial information about a new consignment that has Cain on edge. The urgency heightens as Dan races against time to bring down Cain once and for all.
The net closes in
With the investigation into Musa's death progressing, a new detective enters the scene, closing the net around Esther, Ruth, Hope, and Deborah. The gravity of the situation becomes undeniable, as the characters find themselves in the midst of a storm that threatens to expose their secrets.
