- Jacob and North have gone missing, and after the events of the previous night, Margaret is desperate to find them. But, when her friends discover her betrayal of Emily, Margaret will have to search alone.
- The episode starts with the discovery of Sir Howard's body near a lake. Margaret, a madam of a brothel, is worried about her two sons, North and Jacob, who have gone missing. Lucy, one of Margaret's girls, tags along with her mother to find the two boys. Charlotte, another of Margaret's girls, wakes up with her lover Daniel and plans to visit her mother but is warned not to because of the risk of being suspected for Sir Howard's murder.
Meanwhile, Emily Lacey, a girl from the brothel, is revealed to be tied up in a dark room by Lydia, a rival madam. Margaret speaks with Nancy, another madam, and explains that she killed Sir Howard for Lucy's sake. Nancy suggests that Margaret has allowed greed to corrupt her morals.
Haxby, an associate of Sir Howard, begins to spin a tale, pretending to have caught Charlotte and Daniel trying to steal from Sir Howard's house and covered in blood and dirt. Charles, Lydia's son, asks his mother where she was the previous night and Lydia insists she was out hunting for Emily.
Margaret returns home and pretends to know nothing about the murder. Charlotte is arrested by guards and thrown into the dungeon, while Daniel is also arrested and blames Margaret for his arrest. Margaret pleads with the justice to save her daughter but is told that justice will be swift.
As the episode progresses, we learn that Amelia, another character, sees Violet and tells her they need to stop seeing each other because Quigley, a powerful figure, knows about them. Emily is still being held captive by Lydia, who is taking revenge for Charlie's death. Nancy and Charles try to rescue her.
The episode ends with a cliffhanger, as the fate of Charlotte and Daniel, Emily, and North and Jacob is still uncertain. The Wells women fear that they will come under suspicion for Sir Howard's murder, and Margaret is trying to find a way to save her daughters from peril.
