Paula and Wayne panic when Paula's volatile mother arrives at their house, warning that if she discovers something she'll kill them. Wayne orders Esther to hide in the study while Paula is told to trick the visitor into leaving; they plan to return later to dispose of the body. The mother storms in demanding 'Where's my daughter?' and presses for Wayne's whereabouts. Paula's absence and the couple's denials only increase her suspicion. The episode ends with Paula still missing and the three forced to sustain the lie or face immediate exposure.
