Missy's book about her life as a prostitute has caused a sensation, and she's engaged to the infamous founder of an on-line leaks site, Joshua Floyd.

Meanwhile, Cleaver sleeps with the niece of an ex-girlfriend, who has a budding film career and loves Alfred Hitchcock movies. When he discovers she's not yet 16, he's horrified but it's too late. She's been charged with accidentally killing a fellow actor while filming a scene, and blackmails Cleaver into defending her.

Cleaver's debt to the Corellas has prison-widow Kirsty making amorous plans for his repayments schedule, while he's fighting David Potter over the defamation case.

Scarlet applies for a job with Attorney-General Cal McGregor, and her disdain for Cleaver gets her the job.

Meanwhile, Cleaver's woes escalate when Fuzz reveals that he's been having an affair with Wendy's flirty neighbour Sally.

An Alfred Hitchcock thriller on late night TV opens Cleaver's eyes to the fact that his 16-year-old client may well be a blossoming psychopath. Just when he thinks things could not be more complicated, Missy walks back into his life.
