When the three women met up, Sharon rang Bernie’s burner phone, exposing what she’s been doing for the past few weeks.
Bernie explained that she’s been speaking to Dean and she knows he is telling the truth, which left Linda horrified.
Despite Sharon’s best efforts to change Bernie’s mind, she remained firm that Sharon killed Keanu, recalling that she tried to kill Ian years back.
Bernie theorised that Linda was covering for her, which is why they never reported the blackmail messages – and Linda wasn’t able to defend herself.

Sharon later heard a noise outside her house, and when she investigated, Bernie threw red paint on her, having written the word ‘murderer’ on her front door.
“Sharon Watts is a murderer!” Bernie then told the Square. “Dean didn’t kill him, she did! The truth will come out next week. You’ll see.”
Sharon was terrified by Bernie’s declaration and she was soon joined by the other members of The Six – Linda, Kathy, Stacey, Denise and Suki – who stood outside their own houses looking equally worried.
With Dean’s trial next week, just what will unfold in this dramatic week of episodes?
