About this episode

The episode explores Jonathan Creswell's establishment of a cult-like unit of women for support and his continued abusive behavior.

After a prison sentence for domestic abuse, Jonathan Creswell continues to establish a 'cult-like' unit of women around himself, using them for domestic, equestrian, and financial support while maintaining a public facade of charm for wealthy parents. The episode climaxes with Creswell moving his group, including pregnant Christina Simpson and young Katie Simpson, into his biological father Herbie Lusby's property in Donegal, where he continued his pattern of abuse, sexual harassment, and financial exploitation.
