A Woman of Substance ending explained
It's her birthday and she's gathered all her family at the home for a special kind of celebration but when she appears in front of her family, she immediately asks if all of the traitors are present.
She tells Edwin that Fairley Hall is now up for sale after overpromising to get the big army uniform contract secured. Seeing as Emma owns the mill, it's an even trickier situation and he simply can't fulfil the order. She then tells Edwin that all of that will now be on his shoulders, now that he's back from the war.
Calling for Priya (Hiftu Quasem), Edwin immediately stops his aunt and tells her that he's been thinking about their relationship and just wants to let her go, owing to the fact that they clearly don't love each other. However, when Priya appears, she surprises Edwin in a major way and reveals that she is actually pregnant.

It's clear that they've got a deep connection as Emma confesses to feeling relieved when she learnt that it wasn't Mac who had been killed, even though it was her husband that was. That conversation is one that Mac's pregnant wife overhears, with Mac and Emma assuming she's sleeping.
Edwin professes his love to Emma and proposes marrying her, telling her he made a mistake all those years ago and that he wants to make peace to end their ongoing feud. He says that although the Fairleys have the big uniform contract, they don't have any cloth or a mill – but she does. He asks for a working partnership to fulfil the contract, laying out the financial terms that would help them both. Ultimately though, he asks for a truce. Once he walks out of her shop and to his brother, his intentions become all too clear as he tells him that "she bought it", clearly just lying once again.
That day, Olivia then informs Adam that she's leaving him after he made her believe that she was responsible for Adele's death. She says she needs to get away in order to grieve, something which takes Adam by surprise.
How does Emma get her revenge on the Fairleys?
She tells Adam that she paid a visit to Lord Acton, who is in charge of the contract, and told him about the Fairleys' underhanded tactics that would also leave the workers without a living wage and soldiers with subpar uniforms. She told him that she won't be supplying the Fairley's with any material and so, he gave her the money upfront to ensure she can fulfil the order herself.
She then makes her way to the head of the table and reveals what she's spent the contract money on, nodding to Murgatroyd as she does so. He opens the door to Mac, who walks in and joins Emma with a key. Emma reveals that she's actually bought Fairley Hall and serves the family their eviction notice, telling them all to leave.
Later on, we see that Edwin follows Mac and Emma as they leave the house. He tells them that because he's now involved, he's more angry about this feud than ever. He threatens Emma and says that when he has his own family, they too will carry on this feud and try to regain control of the house.
Does Emma confront her family about their betrayal?
She then reveals that the heir to the businesses will be her granddaughter Paula (Mara Huf). Although they've had their ups and downs, Emma tells Paula that she's proven herself to be a worthy successor – but it's something that clearly makes Paula uncomfortable.
The worst possible thing happens as Jim reveals that he and Paula eloped and got married in secret. But not only that, Paula also reveals that she's pregnant and Jim reminds Emma that whatever is Paula's, is now all his too. That means that the families will once again be tied and also, that Jim will stand to gain control over Fairley Hall once again, just like his grandfather Edwin had vowed all those years ago.
