The Paradise

Denise adapts to survive in her new job at The Paradise, a glamorous department store in a booming Victorian city, and catches the eye of Moray, the store’s charismatic owner. Moray has big ambitions to expand, but at what cost?

When Sam comes to the rescue of a customer, a misunderstanding threatens his career and The Paradise's reputation. Excitement spreads when a new promotion is announced, leaving Miss Audrey flustered and Denise an opportunity to shine in Moray's eyes.

Spirits are high in anticipation for the annual staff outing, but Tom must deliver unhappy news.

Miss Audrey develops a mysterious illness which provokes a rivalry between Denise and Clara. Katherine enjoys the effect Peter is having on her life, but is it enough to banish all thoughts of Moray?

Tom Weston is furious to see that Moray has set up a display of pocket watches, which might steal attention away from his new Food Hall department.

Lucille confesses to Clara that she doubts her feelings for Ballentine, but she soon regrets her comments and attempts to buy Clara’s silence.
