Owner Patrick Ambrose (Ansu Kabia) was poisoned while drinking a glass of rum.
His sudden death came as he'd been on the verge of selling up the distillery.
But a major plot twist revealed the dead man was, in fact, not Patrick Ambrose at all.
He was instead a criminal impostor named Sampson - who'd stolen Patrick's identity almost two decades ago.

The real Patrick's sister, Cora (Madeline Appiah), was unmasked as the murderer in the end.
Cora knew Sampson was an impostor - as she'd also killed the real Patrick, back in 2007.
She had found out her brother raped Janelle Dulice (Michelle Asante) that same evening - which the police team uncovered in their investigation.
Viewers were stunned by the plot twist, sharing their surprise on social media.
