The raid became violent, with Hobart hitting Philippe hard. The autopsy slowly reveals three sets of injuries to the chef, and the fatal one was a blow to the head. A button from a police uniform was collected in the freezer with the dead body. Robinson's daughter Tilly takes cod liver oil from Jean's kitchen, which Blake realizes will not help her but hurt her. They find her collapsed and send her to the hospital; she reveals her relationship with Philippe, who is not homosexual, and that she was at the restaurant the evening Philippe was killed, seeing a light there.

Henry Dent owns the restaurant and shared his lodgings with Philippe. He tells of the argument they had after the police raid and Philippe's absences from home, with Tilly.

Controversial writer Patricia Neville has returned to her old hometown, writing a new novel that bases its characters on the local people of Ballarat. The book reading at the local library quickly devolves into screaming and chaos. She is found dead the next morning with her sister Eve unconscious beside her, seeming to be a murder-suicide that was not completed. Blake searches out truths about the sisters, cursed with fatal breast cancer. Patricia was poisoned, and did not die of the cancer or the treatment for it. Charlie’s careful search of evidence at the scene found a chip of nail polish matching the angry librarian, who had wanted approval from Patricia for her own writing, and shared short stories with her, never getting any approval. The poison ruined Patricia’s behavior with others before killing her. The neighbor man who loved Eve brought over gin laced with thallium, thinking that Eve never drank alcohol, and that Patricia was a horrible annoyance. Yet Eve did drink when no one was around, and so did Patricia's agent. Doctor Blake tells both of them of the antidote. Blake learns that his wife is unwilling to sue for divorce as the current law requires her to name an adulterer, which Mei Lin will not do. Blake has more options, but Jean likes none of them. Ned Simmons learns to be helpful to the detectives.

They learn that Vern has won a lot of cash at cards, in an illegal gambling game at a local cafe, generating enemies. Trent is in debt to Vern and under suspicion. Charlie and Blake find Ethan attacked at his work site, with the weapon still in his chest, and he is saved by surgery. Superintendent Lawson shuts down the gambling. Ethan's mother reveals that her son helped Vern with paperwork, as Vern could not read or write. Blake searches at Vern's workshop and finds plans for a portable electric drill, which Percy Walker, a plumber and Vern’s former partner, is also seeking, as it will be a valuable patented device.

Charlotte's father is principal of her school, and she is badly treated by the girls, who had assaulted her with foods forced down her throat while she is bound to a chair, and other schemes that leave their marks. They had a plan for her on the stage before the dance started, but she was killed before the hairy spiders were released. Rose Anderson is good friends with one teacher at the school, who was aware of the bullying but did not intervene, just as her father failed to protect his daughter. Jean notices the scent of a particular perfume on Charlotte's ball dress; Charlotte did not wear perfume, but her teacher did. The teacher was having an affair with the boy who was Charlotte's escort to the ball, and she is arrested for that. Charlie will arrest the girls who assaulted Charlotte. Then Blake visits the flower shop of the mother of one of the girls who assaulted Charlotte. He realizes she had grown up at the hospital but had no chance for medical school. Instead, she was the local backroom abortionist, and Charlotte planned to announce that at the ball, to gain herself proper notice, as she endured so much herself. Molly's mother designed a flower headband for Charlotte, which she used as her murder weapon, and she is charged with the murder. In flashback images, we see Blake putting an envelope in the post box, which he recalls as he and Jean talk about their future, and making decisions together.

The autopsy reveals that Daryl was not killed by a shotgun alone.

Edward Tyneman’s wedding night ends in his murder. Blake's aunt Dorothy, estranged from the Blakes since his father married, asks him to track down her granddaughter, Caroline Lucas. Jean’s nephew Danny Parks, police officer in Melbourne, helps in Ballarat to solve the murder. In Melbourne, Blake goes to Caroline's address and discovers a dead woman in the cellar. The Melbourne police determine her cause of death and her true identity. Edward’s father Patrick cannot bear the loss of his son and pulls strings to get Blake re-instated with the police, believing he will find the murderer of his son. Tyneman has high blood pressure. Harriet's father Milton Dunne is found murdered by a blow to the head. Investigations in Melbourne reveal that Milton was not Harriet's father; they were partners in scams of older people living in nursing homes. In the course of that, they met Caroline, who was quite ill. Milton killed Harriet's sister Evie, leaving her to die in Caroline's cellar. Harriet reveals that she is pregnant with Edward's child, which brings her closer to her mother-in-law Susan. Patrick Tyneman is found dead in a car, in the water. The autopsy reveals he died naturally and then lost control of the vehicle. A new young waitress, Roslyn, at the club catches Blake's eye, as she shows signs of the same heart disease that runs in the Tyneman family and wears a bracelet with sapphires. Blake had found a sapphire stone in the fountain where Edward died. With Lawson present, Blake confronts Roslyn who admits her father is Patrick Tyneman, and that her anger was directed at Edward. Thus she murdered her half-brother and then Milton, because he was blackmailing her. Blake and Jean hunt for Caroline in care homes until they can bring her to Ballarat, near her grandmother. Blake learns that his father was the barrier to family reconciliation after his mother died, and is easier with his aunt Dorothy. Lucien and Jean have a happy wedding, with Lawson and his niece Rose standing up for them. Returning from their four month honeymoon, they set their bags down in the house, and Lawson is there, calling Blake back to work.
