Police receive a tip that leads them to Zak Valentine. Investigators then connect the dots of the attempted insurance fraud, giving them the leverage they need to arrest Cecilia and Marinda, too.

But with the members of EPD being held for fraud, and not murder, will the police be able to keep them behind bars?
