8. The Showdown

Catrin finally confronts Lighthouse's leader as the organisation ends up in court. The showdown results in a crowded interview on a busy London street.

It’s the final showdown. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ team finds out there’s been another investigation going on in parallel to their one. It’s by the Government, who want Lighthouse shut down.

Lighthouse International Group end up in court, and more than 20 team members crowd into the hearing room, squashed alongside the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ as well as Jeff and Dawn. Catrin finally gets to put her questions to Lighthouse and their leader Paul Waugh, and a massive crowd piles down a central London street as she tries to get answers.

What happens when a life coach takes over your life? Catrin Nye and her team expose control, intimidation and fear at a sinister life coaching company.
