Harry and Jimmy push through the purchase of Whiteleys, against the advice of Mr. Crabb, who learns that the Whiteley boys owed huge sums to their suppliers, who are now refusing further delivery. Meryl discovers Tilly's secret and, backed by Lady Mae, persuades her father to reinstate her at the expense of her persecutors. Roger has plans to make Whiteleys more profitable but tragedy strikes the family, leaving Josie feeling vulnerable and inept. Disregarding the general air of grief at the store, Wynnstay sends muck-raking reporter Tooby to clarify the circumstances of Victor's death, prompting Lady Mae to question Jimmy.
