the role of Lieutenant Vic Boswell.)
Cain invites Andrea to the fancy-dress ball of Halloween which takes place
that evening, but she refuses. Heather is angry at his father who put Scott
on call for the evening. Vic Boswell, persuaded that Cain is the rapist,
asks Lydia Saunders to keep an eye on him during the ball. Eden ends up
convincing Cruz to agree to go there although the idea that the rapist may be
present displeases him. At the Country Club, the evening finally starts.
T.J., which tries to frighten Kelly, is thrown out by CC's men. Called at
the hospital, Zack must leave Heather, but she is soon joined by Scott who
succeeds in being replaced. Cain, which discovers that Andrea came in
company from Cruz and Eden, is furious against her. She tells him that all is
finished between them. On the point to explode, Cain prefers to go outside to
get some fresh air. On the beach where she has come out to think, Andrea is
attacked by a man dressed in black...

Andrea is left for dead on the beach. Kelly, who believes to have
seen a man in black in the restroom, informs Cruz. But it is only Gina,
disguised as a Count Dracula. Scott proposes to Heather to finish the
evening at his place. A whole Chinese decoration, adapted to the topic of
their costumes, awaits Heather there. They make love. Cruz and Vic Boswell
discover Philip Hamilton, a knife in his hand, in front of the dead body of
Andrea. He says that it has just withdrawn the knife of the body of the
victim. Of return to the party, Cruz announces the death of Andrea to Eden
and Cain, then puts and end to the evening. At the police station, Cruz, Vic
and Julia question Cain then Major Hamilton. He seems convinced that the
rapist is Cain...

Since Andrea did not have any more close family, Cain asks Cruz and Eden to
help him to organize her funeral. Eden asks CC to provide her the guest list
of the evening as well as the detail of all the comings and goings. But as she
knows each name, Cruz makes her admit that the rapist is in this case somebody
which they know. CC, being at the origin of the evening which attracted the
rapist, feels responsible for the death of Andrea. He is comforted by Sophia.
Questioned relentlessly by Vic Boswell, Cain strikes him in the face. But
Julia agrees not to prosecute him for that, invoking the anger of Boswell who
sees there a kind of immunity for Cain because of his links with Capwell.
Heather sees of an evil eye the friendship which links her father and Victoria
during a charity sale to the Michael's new parish. Sonny speaks to Gina
about his apprehension to marry Julia. He imagines a fantasy marriage where
it is he who marries Julia and... Father Michael! By leaving the Country Club
where she has just had words with T.J., Sophia seems followed by somebody...
1074
Cain is collected on the grave of Andrea when she discovers Lydia
Saunders spying her from behind a bush. He calls into question her friendship
by suspecting it of approaching him only for her work, which she denies. While
discussing thereafter with Eden, Cain realizes that she does not even
completely any more rely on him. On the consultings of Michael, Cruz meets
Philmore Winsley, an imprisoned serial rapist, to help him to establish the
profile of the video rapist. He explains to Cruz why the rapist seeks by his
acts to be avenged for a woman who made it suffer during his childhood and
which it is necessarily about a man that Eden knows. He then says to Cruz that
even once the rapist is behind the bars, he and Eden will never be able to
forget this drama. Dr. Zack Kelton encourages Eden to undergo an amniocentesis
to determine the identity of the father of her baby, but Eden is afraid of the
possible risks for the fetus. Scott, who cannot free himself as promised to
spend the evening with Heather, asks Zack to accompany her at the restaurant.

him for the night. Behind the window, a man in black armed with a switch blade

hide a bloody towel in one of the speakers of his stereosystem. He then goes
to the police station where he advises Lieutenant Boswell to go to search Cain.
Cain receives a visit from Lydia thereafter and, by searching his bag, discovers
that he has a revolver. When she tells Cruz about new nightmare about the
rapist she had during the night, Eden feels the baby to move for the first
time. Having new doubts as for his paternity, Cruz asks her to undergo an
amniocentesis. At the Orient Express, in spite of the accusing
remarks of Mark the maitre'd of the hotel, Victoria invites herself to the table

after Sophia. When he finds them, the rapist, in a hurry due to the police
sirens, flees by leaving Sophia on the ground, healthy and safe. On returning
to his place, Cain is confronted by two police officers who shoot at him to
stop. Wounded, he flees to Eden. She has just learned that her towel was
found at Cain and does not manage to hide her fear in front of him. Cruz and
the police arrives when Cain forces Eden to convince them of his innocence.
At the hospital Michael meets Eliott Larson, the patient of his father. But

police station, Lydia confirms to Eden that she is persuaded of the innocence
of Cain. Still under the shock of her attack, Sophia agrees to spend the night
at CC's. Both are surprised in the garden by Augusta, who tells them that a
suspect was stopped by the police. CC and Sophia also refuse to believe that
Cain is guilty. At Gina's, Augusta becomes acquainted with Bunny who
