The clip cuts to Maya being told that Joe may have stumbled onto something big. From there we hear about a private bank account and Judith's warning Maya 'there's something more going on.'

Maya isn't the only family member living through a nightmare, her niece and nephew have also become obsessed with finding out who murdered their mother.
