Next week, Paul is intrigued when he hears Yashvi Rebecchi mentioning that she might have seen someone who was connected to the Renshaw siege hanging around Lassiters recently.

Jane still hopes that Paul will be able to find the true identity of Richard and get back the money that she sent to him, but Paul tells her not to get too excited about the new lead just yet. However, it’s not too long before he realises that Mannix Foster is to blame for Jane’s catfishing ordeal.
