Meanwhile, Alina is unhappy about the cover-up pointing out that Hope could cause someone harm and it will be his fault. Tyrone relents and finally tells the police it was Hope that started the fire. Later, Fiz demands to know why she hasn’t been charged following her confession but is told that new information has come to light.
