Bilkey tries to get the gang back in the game, but Ted threatens to crash and burn and bring them down with him. And Bilkey realises money can’t buy everything. When Chelsea’s school kick her out, Ngaire and Lefty unite to defend her, but their anger sparks feelings they thought had long been extinguished. Realising the magic is gone, Rita investigates, and is confronted with a betrayal that she can’t forgive. But Ted may be past the point of caring.
