Flirtation Beneath Family Smiles - Episode 9

Mr. Hopkin slips a key into Shirley's room at night; she demands he let go while someone pounds on the door. Laura warns Adrian to stay nearby because Grandpa and Charon are in the house and being caught would be bad. Shirley insists they aren't having an affair but fears Adrian finding out would ruin her $10 million deal. Mr. Hopkin taunts her—"The entire Hopkin family is mine"—then declares, "I call the shots in the family," shifting power and forcing secrecy. A voice calls, "Charon?" as he approaches, risking immediate exposure.
