Anna is arrested for Mr. Green’s murder. Her husband Bates takes the blame to spare her innocent life. Thomas confides in Baxter that he knew Mr. Green attacked Anna, but he didn’t actually “have his way with her.” The reason Mr. Green attacked Anna is because he was spurned by his true love: Thomas. Mr. Green was angry, and it was his attempt to go straight. Thomas felt bad about Anna, so he went to London under the pretext of re-kindling a love affair with Mr. Green. However, his real intent was to poison Mr. Green – enough to make Mr. Green pass out so he could write an inappropriate tattoo across his chest. Thomas shared this plan with Baxter, in confidence – or so he thought. Daisy overheard it. Daisy tells the police and Baxter confirms. Thomas admits trying to poison Mr. Green but pleads that it wasn’t enough poison to kill him, just to make him groggy and stumble – he didn’t mean to kill him. Just as the police start to arrest Thomas for murder, Mrs. Hughes steps forward and says that she pushed Mr. Green out in front of the cart and would do it again if she had the chance. Carson tries to take the blame for her, but she scolds him – which makes him respect and pine for her even more.
