Bridie accuses Jonesy of murder, but makes the mistake of manufacturing evidence against him. When she is found out, suspicion naturally falls on her, and she is arrested. But Tess is convinced of her innocence, and persuades a rather reluctant Jonesy to help her find the real killer. Ironically Tess' efforts to exonerate her sister of murder reveal that she is involved in a far more despicable crime—she has been running a brothel staffed by sex-slaves. Tess is forced to make an emotional choice, finally accepting her sister for who she really is.
