Later, Nicholas Angel discovered that the NWA is behind all the murders in order to get rid of anyone that would risk Sandford winning the title of village of the year.
Butterman reveals that he will do anything to make Sandford the best village because his wife killed herself when they lost the title in the past. After Nicholas escapes the NWA with the help of the Danny he returns to Sandford to arrest the NWA. Nicholas frees the police of Sandford from Frank's evil influence, and exposes Frank as the mastermind behind the killings.
