Martha argues it’s no excuse – but Cam storms out, leaving Martha reeling at his dishonesty. But we learn that Cam’s fears are justified, when Mitchell and his thugs threaten to take the deeds to the Rocket Club if Cam doesn’t produce ten grand by tomorrow. A deeply shaken Cam returns home, admitting to Martha that the money he stole from the Diner will only buy him a day’s grace – and he’s stunned when Jack steps out of hiding, having heard it all. He arrests Cam for the Diner theft. And Cam immediately attacks Martha for turning him in.
