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.
