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
