Stephen is in a state of panic as he attempts to evade detection after murdering his business competitor, Rufus Donahue, in a series of events that unfolded recently. In the latest episode (April 14th), Rufus was discovered lifeless in his pool, and subsequent flashbacks revealed that Stephen was responsible for his untimely demise.
In a flashback scene, Stephen went to Rufus’ house and spiked his drink. He then held the latter’s head underwater, which caused his death by drowning.
Stephen had grown weary of Rufus’s threats to expose him and had resorted to taking extreme measures to get rid of him. Next week, Michael Bailey (Ryan Russell) gives his take on Rufus’ death. He theorizes that the latter died after drunkenly falling into the swimming pool.
Stephen is pleased to hear Michael’s theory about Rufus’ death. He hopes that the police feels the same way too, giving him an easy pass for what he’s done.

At first, Stephen will feel like he’s on top of the world. He’ll show off his new car and be the center of attention when the factory shows off samples to its clients. However, things start to take a turn when he receives a hand-delivered letter that says, “I know what you did to Rufus.”
Stephen’s blackmailers demand £10,000 in return for their silence. If he fails to delivery, they’re threatening to expose his sinister deeds to the police.
Michael has no clue about the danger that surrounds him. Will he come to realize the true nature of his boss and the perilous situation he has found himself in?
