Liz resigns herself to the fact that she is about to face a prison sentence and puts her home on the market, tells her father and tells the staff to get new jobs but her indignant colleagues assemble a strong case to prove that Williams is on a witch hunt and go as far as to piecing together documents Williams shred.
