However, things take a dark turn when Bette has a car accident and is rescued by a snowplow driver named Ben Avery.

Meanwhile, Lovey discovers that the SUV she sold to Bette contains hidden diamonds from a heist. Determined to retrieve the diamonds, Lovey aligns herself with an unknowing Steve, who is now a suspect in Bette’s disappearance, and will stop at nothing to find Bette and the diamonds.
