Having recovered from her illness, Prudence looks forward to enjoying a hassle-free retirement. However, Constance starts to treat her like an intruder, taking over her house and her life. Since she doesn’t have anywhere else to go, she decides to stay out of Constance’s way and make the best of her situation, but Constance doesn’t make it easy.

After a few years of Prudence being back in Jamaica, Constance falls ill. What causes Constance’s illness and how does she fare now that Prudence is in charge?
