After a seemingly innocent man is charged with murder, the women become enmeshed in a tangled suburban tragedy, racing to find both the true killer and the methods before the scent goes cold. Jean meanwhile grapples with how -and where - to build a new life for herself.
Lydia persuades her staid husband Kenneth to take in James Crawford after Patricia, aware of his infidelity, stabs him but gets a shock when she visits Patricia to reconcile the couple. As a result Kenneth packs her off to an asylum and Crawford goes on the run but the code-breakers track him down and are convinced he did not commit a second murder. With two innocent men in custody a visit to Lydia provides the quartet with a solution to the double deaths and prevents a third.—don @ minifie-1
