Episode 10091 (22nd July 2020)

## Plot

Elaine Jones, who saw Yasmeen's case on the news, describes her experiences with Geoff, how he isolated and controlled her and convinced her that she was an alcoholic. Yasmeen is wary of the stranger, citing Geoff's dust allergy and heart problems, which Elaine says are made up. Adam is intrigued to hear from Laura that Gary got heavy with her and yet he refused to call Rick. Sally is making no attempt to be polite to Geoff as his mask begins to slip. Daniel feels better with Nicky to confide in and books her for another hour, paying with his credit card. Adam begins to wonder if Rick is dead. Elaine tells Yasmeen that she paid a heavy price to get away from Geoff. Yasmeen doubts her story as she claims Geoff is violent, which he never was to her. Elaine urges her to read up on coercive control. Lucie Fernsby shows her support for Yasmeen by getting a book from the prison library on the subject for her to read. Daniel credits Nicky with making him able to sleep through the night. Seb is torn about Abi's dinner invitation. Emma points out that she's already lost two children this week. Abi is thrilled when Seb joins her and Kevin at No.13. Yasmeen calls Geoff from prison. He continues to play the part of the loving husband. Adam and Imran decide it's time to make Gary sweat. Adam shocks Gary by asking why he killed Rick. Momentarily speechless, Gary regains his composure and tells Adam he's lost the plot. Yasmeen tells Geoff about the visit she received, but doesn't name Elaine. When Geoff demands to know who's slandering him, Yasmeen realises with horror that she must be one of many, or else Geoff would immediately know. The strong Yasmeen re-emerging, she tells her husband that even if she's found guilty, it'll be worth it to be rid of him. Geoff drops his act and warns Yasmeen to get used to the view from her prison window.
