Plot summary
Upset that Nancy has not given her the insurance benefit, Valerie hires a private detective to investigate Nancy. Shane detects the PI using their new home surveillance system. The PI, who claims to have documented Nancy's operation, blackmails her for $50,000. Nancy pays the PI, but refuses to give Valerie any more money, claiming she had to use the remainder of her insurance money to pay off the PI. Silas is conflicted when Tara starts dating someone else "for her cultural needs." Doug continues to clash with Majestic, who are suspicious over Doug's loan to Aquatecture. Upon learning of this, Celia investigates into Aquatecture and has a hostile conversation with Heylia. Celia also spots Conrad, and they vaguely acknowledge each other. Celia then tortures Dean for information. Conrad delivers Nancy a message from Celia: "I know you fucked my boyfriend. I know you are dealing again. We'll be in touch."
