Detective Bamford arrives to investigate Red's disappearance and faces a wall of silence, ultimately departing after striking a deal with Ralph. Hatty Laggan, widowed by the explosion, joins Lace Polly's brothel but is treated kindly by rent collector Thornhill whilst Martha finds herself working alongside Alma and Johnny, having won money in a wrestling match, offers it to Martha to take her children and leave Jericho though she refuses. Charles is determined to carry on building the viaduct following the explosion but is strapped for cash and, against the advice of housekeeper and confidante Epiphany, considers a financial partnership with Isabella, who once jilted him, provided they get married.
