Part 9 of 10 of the period drama. The police are smarming around the area after the discovery of the body of a baby in Mrs Bronowski's garden. While she is taken into custody, the presence of the police is too much for Ned, who decides he needs to get away and makes a decision he could soon grow to regret. This is devastating for Matty, who is also being shunned by her ward Tom, who blames her for facing being sent to boarding school. And the day of reckoning comes in at least two of the rich households. While Lord Hugh faces the wrath of his father, the St Johns are rocked by Isabel's plan to marry Captain Mason and of her aunt's objections. While Victoria secretly hopes it fails, her husband is becoming a little too suspicious of her behaviour...
