The Secret, Pt. 1
S16 E1:
Freddie Musgrave recognises a club's owner, Cora, but she denies they have ever met. Freddie's mind is soon on other things when a distinctive diamond suddenly comes back onto the market. The gem was part of a batch stolen 18 years previously and its reappearance threatens to expose the secrets which first brought Freddie and Maggie together. Meanwhile, Belle is rapidly falling in love with handsome charmer Marcel Birkstead but does not realise they can't marry.
