Episode 10112 (9th September 2020)

## Plot

Geoff scares Sally and she runs from the house, seeing Tim walking up the street. Geoff follows and puts on an act of innocence. Sally flees into No.4, leaving a puzzled Tim behind to hear Geoff's excuses. David and Shona search for Lily. Chesney tells them she's in No.5 playing with Joseph. Shona suddenly seems unconcerned about the child. Sally shows Tim the stolen laptop and tries to guess the password. An exasperated Nicky calls on Daniel after he has left twenty-six messages on her phone. She doesn't think they should see each other again but he just wants to be friends and hang out together. Admitting she likes his company, she agrees. Tim reluctantly helps with guessing the correct password: "greatmagnifico2". David gets exasperated when Shona eats the children's fish-finger tea. He phones Roy to collect her. Sally finds no CCTV footage on the laptop and Tim tells her that he's moving out, having had enough of her accusations. Faye comes in and, hearing the problem, has an idea. Geoff realises the laptop is missing. Faye cannot find any footage either, but Sally asks her to look over his photos. Within that folder, she finds the forgotten mobile phone footage from February of Geoff abusing Yasmeen after the magic show that went wrong. The three watch in horror as they witness her crying distress. Aadi thinks Dev is neglecting him, with Asha taking all his attention. Utterly rocked, Tim can't come to terms with what he's seen. Sally agrees with Faye that they should show the footage to the police, but Tim can't bring himself to go with them to the station. Toyah lies to Nick that the fostering process is going well. Geoff comes into No.4 looking for the laptop and Tim confronts him with what they've seen. David confides in Sarah, telling her that he's not coping with Shona's personality change. She assures him that she'll recover and they're all here to help in the meantime. Tim won't accept Geoff's excuses and finally sees through his lies. Tim screams at Geoff when he tries to say that he's done nothing that his son hasn't ever done himself with Sally. He tells his father that he finally believes all the accusations about his behaviour that have been made against him and that he is a serial abuser. As they look forward to their Cornwall break, Nick and Steve compliment each other on how much support they've given both each other and Leanne. Tim tells his father he's been a fool not to have seen through him and demands to know what he's done with Elaine Jones who he now knows to be his real mum. The police call at No.4 to take Geoff in for questioning. As he's led away, Tim tells his father that he never wants to see him again.

## Notable dialogue

Tim Metcalfe (to Geoff Metcalfe): "Remember that video that you made... of Yasmeen after the magic show? We saw it. That man... that bully... that's you."

Geoff Metcalfe: "Please don't pretend you've never lost it with Sally. I bet you've had a right go at her and then felt terrible aft..."

Tim Metcalfe (shouting): "I have NEVER, EVER shoved a phone in front of my wife's face, and filmed her, while she was cowering away from me!"
