Meanwhile, Dana and Trip must endure scrutiny and taunts while trying to deal with their loss.

Orphaned since birth, Conrad Chandler, the heir of one of Palm City’s founders, exacts revenge on the public and threatens to paralyze and control the city.

Elsewhere, Dana becomes increasingly uncomfortable with her new social life.
