Episode 3

Jake comes to Stephanie's aide after the shooting as Olive reports back to Jilly that the job is done. Awaking in hospital, Stephanie tells Dan someone is trying to kill her. Police arrive at Jilly's hotel room to question her but she has an alibi — she was with her ex husband, Philip Stewart. When the police go to see Philip to confirm her story, Jilly calls him and asks him to confirm to the police that they had breakfast together. He does.

Recovering at home, Stephanie receives a visit from Jilly who manages to become the one who needs comforting. Jake Sanders is next in line for the police. They come armed with a search warrant and recover photos of Stephanie and a handgun. At the gym, Dennis and Angelo's manager, Tony Taylor, agree on a deal for Dennis to buy into his friend's boxing career for $25,000.

At the Harper Mining board meeting there is disagreement on how to deal with Jake Sanders who already owns 18% of the company — just shy of the 20% he needs for a seat on the board. Tom suggests the "Pac-Man defense" and recommends the company go on the attack and start buying up Jake's investments. Stephanie endorses the idea and the board agrees. Outside the room, Cassie listens in, ready to report back to Jake.

A foal is delivered to Eden, a gift for Stephanie from Jake. Dan doesn't want to accept it but Stephanie overrules him. The Police return to Jake the photos and gun, which didn't match the bullet that killed Stephanie's horse. Despite the high cost of the corporate battle, Jake isn't ready to give up. At Tara's Fashion House, planning us underway for a fashion show when Tom brings news to Stephanie of an unknown expense account item authorised by Joanna's poorly forged signature. Dennis is still losing money at the track but Jake is on hand to give him a quick loan — and a winning tip.

Stephanie confronts Dennis about the money he stole from the company which he is now able to pay back thanks to Jake's tip. All parties converge at the fashion show where Dennis makes a drunken spectacle of himself on stage. Meanwhile, Olive orchestrates another attempt on Stephanie's life, having a crocodile delivered to the swimming pool at Eden.
