and implicate Henry. The plan is successful as Mr. Hartcourt believes that
Henry is guilty. Adamant in his declaration of innocence, Henry tries to
convince his uncle. Although not fully convinced, Mr. Hartcourt does not wish

is established. Hugo digs himself a deep hole with his jealousy and need for
revenge. Hugo must face the consequences of his decisions while Henry tries to
get his life back together.
