Synopsis
Silas begins playing games with the McQueens. James is left in danger when D.S. Amaral leads him to a trap. Verity tries to reconcile Ste and James, whilst Dave falls ill and decides to plan a family-carnival at home instead.Plot
The carnival is in full swing; everyone fails to notice the bomb under the escape room. Prince, John Paul and Goldie notice a sign from Silas, telling them not to involve the police. Verity tells James that he can have his job back at Dee Valley Law, but he has to manage the 'hook-a-duck' stall. She reveals to Donna-Marie that Ste is also managing the stall. Olivia regains consciousness and tells Mercedes that she wants to prove that she has family loyalty. Mercedes snaps at her.
Norma reveals to Warren that she watched him with the twins. She says that he showed her his vulnerability. The McQueens find a threatening message and a key hanging on the mirror. Ste and James reconcile. D.S. Amaral and Godfrey hear him telling Ste to meet him at The Dog in the Pond carpark at 4pm. Silas shows the McQueens that he has Mercedes and Olivia held hostage. He makes John Paul go to the school, and Theresa and Goldie find the door that the key unlocks. Joel bumps into Godfrey, who puts a funeral pamphlet with Joel's face on it into Joel's jacket pocket.
Goldie and Theresa manage to unlock the escape room. Dave refuses to let Lizzie go to the carnival, so she sneaks out. Mercedes realises that she needs to work with Olivia to escape. He catches them. Silas turns Mercedes against Olivia. D.S. Amaral meets with James. She distracts him so a thug can put a bag over his head. Norma sends Warren a copy of the funeral pamphlet. Goldie and Theresa try to find a way to escape the escape room: they must choose who dies, or Silas will kill them both. They end up arguing over who Joel loved more, when Silas puts down a pane of glass to separate them.
Joel decides to leave the village, to Warren's disappointment. Silas makes John Paul drink a bottle of wine to see if he'd sacrifice his sobriety for his family. Joel blames Warren for what's happened to him. Dave, fearing that he would make his family ill with his bug, decides to "bring the carnival" to the family. The thug brings James to Norma. She fires him and has him put in a coffin. Mercedes manages to escape, leaving Olivia behind.Cast
