Episode 10124 (23rd September 2020)

## Plot

Collapsing on the street, Nicky begs Daniel not to call for help as she can't have the police asking questions about her. Peter berates Abi for confiding in Debbie and resolves to come clean to Carla before Debbie blabs. Panicked, Abi begs him not to, worried that Kevin will find out too. Having bumped into Tom Reed, Carla has rescheduled his appointment with Sarah. Grace makes her thank Michael for using his initiative in trying to stall him. Michael is disappointed when Grace has to dash home to Tianna. For the sake of her relationship with Kevin, Peter promises Abi he will say nothing to Carla. Abi's relieved while Peter admits he values having her to understand his addiction demons. Daniel has taken Nicky to hospital. Ellen, her mother, is there and she assumes he is one of her daughter's clients, angry that she's taken up prostitution again. Mary asks for Tyrone's help in getting Tracy's bridal magazines from The Kabin. Daniel is uncomfortable as he witnesses Ellen's despair. Cathy thinks Tyrone and Fiz are getting married when he tries to buy the magazines, but Brian sees through the ruse and bars him too. Nicky recovers, telling Daniel that as per his advice, she tried to change her mind on the spot about her client and he flipped with her. Feeling guilty, Daniel resolves to help her. Cathy berates Brian for barring customers. Paul reveals to Billy he's contacted the *Gazette* who are willing to run a story on Todd's disappearance. Billy's not sure it will yield results. Cathy brings Mary a peace offering of a coffee. Daniel takes his anger out on Adam for refusing to help Nicky. Cathy angrily threatens to bar Brian from The Kabin unless he makes his peace with Mary. Geoff comes into Adam's office asking for information on Yasmeen's case, and Daniel can't help but berate him for using vulnerable sex workers. Geoff storms off and Adam leaves Daniel to lock up the office. Mary and Brian restore their friendship. She asks for his help with the backlog of work at the florists. Geoff returns to the lawyers, looking for an envelope he has lost. Daniel reiterates his contempt for him and, after he has gone again, smiles at the envelope stuffed with Geoff's cash that he has found in the interim.
