Plot
Johanna’s best friend Heidi (Jennifer Saunders) is approached by The Stranger and her friend (Lily Loveless), who reveal to her that her daughter Kimberley (Callie Cooke) has been involved with an escort website called FindYourSugarBaby.com. They blackmail her to avoid releasing the information that would ruin her daughter's professional future. Adam is handling the legal case of a former policeman named Martin Killane who does not wish to be evicted from his home, he learns that his own father Ed is on the board of the adversarial land development company. Meanwhile, Adam still has no word from Corinne. Adam learns from Daisy's mother Vicky (a teacher at the school, like Corinne) that nude photos purportedly of her young daughter Ella have been released to the entire school. It is revealed that Mike decapitated the alpaca while under the influence of drugs, so he, Thomas, and Daisy plot to dispose of the animal's severed head. However, their movements are tracked by the police through Dante's phone. Mike is arrested, but Thomas and Daisy flee. Heidi is later confronted by a man (Katz) claiming to be a police officer looking into the blackmail scheme.
