However, some wise words from Goldie McQueen (Chelsee Healy) galvanise her thoughts and with fire in her belly she decides to go on a very risky mission to gather information.

Meanwhile things are very awkward when the women are forced to take sides. 

Verity can’t believe her brother Eric would ever do anything to harm anyone. 

However, when a social post from Goldie’s self-defence class is littered with hateful comments, Verity is alarmed when she notices the username. 

Will she realise it is Eric who is behind the vitriol? 

Suddenly lawyer Verity finds herself forced to decide where her loyalties lie when she decides to do some snooping of her own.
