In the aftermath of the WWS publishing Piper’s doxxed video painting Tyler as a violent offender, Tyler is incredulous – his defense is ruined. Piper is upset her actions may have negatively impacted his trial. Seeing her daughter in anguish, Terese tries to reason with Tim Collins, who baulks at her and Toadie’s request to pull the story. Terese then appeals to Tim as a parent, but he reminds Terese he can’t ignore a murder trial. In a last ditch effort, Terese cuts a deal... When Terese explains the deal to Piper, she initially feels exploited. Tim’s agreed to pull the story in exchange for an exclusive interview with Piper straight after the trial. But as Terese explains, the deal gets Tim off Tyler’s back, and puts them both in a good position. When Piper shares the good news with Tyler and Aaron, Tyler is apprehensive – his fears confirmed when it becomes clear the public may not be so quick to forget. Fueled by frustration, Tyler lobs a bombshell at Piper – she’s made everything worse, and nothing is going to change that.
