Episode 6 of "Secrets We Keep" unfolds with an intriguing scenario as Katarina discreetly removes the nanny camera from Ruby's bedroom and promptly reviews its footage. Concurrently, Cecilie hurries to summon Aicha, displaying the shattered window pane and suspecting Katarina's involvement. She confides in Aicha about the tantalizing video thread, the enigmatic footage, and Oscar's menacing threats towards Viggo. However, Aicha finds herself handcuffed without an official complaint; she urges Cecilie to file a report against Oscar for distributing pornographic content to a minor, hoping it will procure a warrant to seize his electronic devices.
Does Cecilie heed Aicha's counsel and implicate Oscar? Indeed, she does. Taking Aicha's advice to heart, Cecilie lodges the complaint. Swiftly, Aicha secures a warrant and executes it with precision. Unfortunately, Katarina had anticipated this move and had already erased all incriminating evidence from Ruby's room. Consequently, the police search proves futile, turning up no damning material on any of the family's devices.
Realizing Cecilie's betrayal, Katarina confronts her, using Cecilie's battle with postpartum depression as a defense for her parenting decisions. Cecilie, having reached her limit, insists that Viggo reveal the contents of the video.
Elsewhere, a DNA test reveals a slight match between Rasmus and the fetus, leading the police to deduce that Rasmus is the child's grandfather—a grim indication that Oscar raped Ruby.
Returning to the house, Cecilie, armed with newfound truth from Viggo, confesses everything to Angel. She then contacts Mike, imploring him to return home. Upon his arrival, Mike finds Oscar still present. Oscar, unrepentant, claims innocence, asserting that Ruby was hired as his au pair, implying a blurred line between obedience and affection. Cecilie corrects his misperception, emphasizing the wrongness of his actions, while Mike escorts him back to his place.
What befalls Oscar, the scion of a billionaire dynasty, is almost predictably tragic given his lineage. Rasmus, unforgiving and harsh, lambasts Katarina for her deficiencies as a mother, swiftly summoning an army of lawyers to rectify his son's missteps. At the helm of this legal offensive stands Mike, obstinate and unyielding, who turns a deaf ear to Cecilie's heartfelt entreaties to sever ties with Rasmus as a client.
Lacking concrete evidence, Rasmus and his legal cronies devise a nefarious plot to turn the tables on Ruby. Their strategy: to cast Ruby as the instigator, depicting her as a predator who groomed a minor for sinister purposes. Cecilie, desperate to steer Mike onto the path of righteousness, finds her pleas falling on deaf ears. Mike, mindful of the potential for a drawn-out legal battle pitting Viggo's word against Oscar's, refuses to budge.
Similarly, the police exhibit a lamentable lack of curiosity, dismissing the matter as a blind alley. However, Aicha, undeterred by the official line that Ruby took her own life, persists in her quest for truth. She reaches out to Cecilie, her voice tinged with desperation, urging her to reconsider and allow Viggo to testify. But Cecilie, bowed by the weight of her decision, remains steadfast in her refusal.
As the community grieves for Ruby, they turn their collective wrath upon Rasmus and Katarina, expelling them from her memorial service with scathing disdain. The scene is a poignant reminder of the fragile tapestry of justice and the power dynamics that often skew the scales of right and wrong.
