DeepSummary
The episode discusses the troubled relationship between Jasmine Hartin and Andrew Ashcroft, despite their public image as a happy couple. Jasmine reveals that they had been effectively separated for over a year before the opening of their resort Alaia, only maintaining appearances for business and their children. She alleges that Andrew was abusive, drank excessively, and was often absent, even missing the birth of their twins.
Details emerge about Andrew's privileged upbringing as the son of billionaire Michael Ashcroft and his struggles to prove himself to his father, including a failed stint running a bank in Turks and Caicos. A former acquaintance, Michael Bailey, portrays Andrew as an entitled and irresponsible playboy during that time.
After the shooting incident involving Superintendent Henry Jemmott, Andrew appears to turn against Jasmine, attempting to cut her off from their children and assets. However, local attorney Wendy Oxalou comes to Jasmine's defense, helping to secure her bail and shift public sympathy towards her as a struggling single mother against a powerful family.
