Intrepid reporter Sian Ferguson has tracked down Danny, but landed a trip to the emergency room in the process. The pair, freshly escaped from the hospital after a close encounter with a Belle Foux operative, now set out to find Antoine Payne.

And if the human head in his mail was any indication, this intimidating businessman is in a dirty, dirty line of work.
