With Lucian dead, Amanda offers Shaun and Vanessa a better place to live than their underground hideout in the sewers, but there's a reason that they both hide out down here.
Vanessa's actions as part of a group of Online activists made her some enemies, one of which is still hunting her down.
Amanda must dig into Vanessa's past to put these demons to rest, freeing Vanessa from this witch-hunt.
