Mercedes becomes more convinced than ever that Silas Blissett (Jeff Rawle) is the one who has been tormenting her family with the creepy doll and its stream of blackmailing demands. And even more worryingly, she is now certain that one of her own family is helping Silas and acting as his spy.

Wanting to catch the culprit, Mercedes decides to install some hidden cameras inside The Dog.

However, her husband Sylver (David Tag) thinks that Mercedes has taken things too far and her obsession with catching the culprit is actually a way of distracting herself from their own problems and the recent troubles they’ve had. Will Mercedes’ plan work and will the cameras catch the insider who’s been betraying the McQueen clan?

Elsewhere, Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson), Nancy (Jessica Fox) and Mandy Richardson (Sarah Jayne Dunn) all struggle to come to terms with the terrible events of New Year’s Eve.
