Webber presses a witness in a Tangart Inn case near Clare Market, probing a murder linked to Langley. A frightened woman describes a prior encounter, a plan to kill a lover, and Langley’s later arrival threatening vindication. Police insist on solid evidence before proceeding.
Langley and Sunflower confront each other across iron bars in a locked visiting room. She speaks brutal truths of his past cruelty, he begs for one more chance, and a brutal struggle ends with his collapse after attempting to wrench free the bars. Meanwhile Margaret and Austin Livory face mounting tensions as Webber pursues the case and a dramatic letter shifts loyalties.
Webber confesses deep love for Margaret and jealousy as he clings to life in the hotel. The Earl presses for details, and Webber outlines his plan to observe Margaret from a hidden vantage, revealing a private staircase route to her rooms and his vigilance over her movements.
