## Plot

**Part One:** Abi accuses David of being a lying toerag, but Shona admits that she was the driver and they only realised she'd hit Todd hours afterwards. Abi agrees to keep quiet until they know how bad Todd is. David sets off to hide Susie, the car. Todd comes round, bruised and two broken ribs, but unable to remember anything about what happened. A taxi driver found him and took him to the hospital. Although relieved he's okay, Eileen tells him it's changed nothing between them. Daisy criticises the Speed Daal food and makes a point of telling Alya that she and Ryan got together as soon as they split up. Having had enough of her stirring things, Ryan puts cash on the table and leaves. Shona hears from Sarah about Todd's condition. Emma agrees to move back into the salon flat tomorrow. Alina has told the police that Fiz is innocent but someone else she knows must have started the fire deliberately. Craig makes door-to-door enquiries about Todd, unnerving David and Shona who say they were asleep at the time of the incident.

**Part Two:** Asha reveals to Dev she sold her new laptop to raise most of the £400. Nick admits to Toyah that he misses work and he's bored with his life of leisure. He doesn't know how to tell Leanne. Shona starts to panic. Having hidden the car, David plans to visit Todd and see how he is for himself. An annoyed Dev thinks Asha still has feelings for Nina but his daughter assures him she's only doing out of guilt for not being a better friend when Seb died. He insists she's honest with Nina about where the majority of the money came from. Yasmeen comforts her granddaughter when she tells her about Daisy and Ryan. Toyah tricks Nick into admitting in front of Leanne that he's also bored and gets them to talk about the problem. Leanne reveals she has a plan. Making out that he an outpatients' appointment, David visits Todd who says he knows they were responsible and will tell them what he wants from them in good time. Asha can't bring herself to say anything to Nina when the girl enthuses about how much Seb meant to people going off the amount they've already collected. Johnny sees that things aren't smooth between Daisy and Ryan. David voices his fears to Shona about what Todd has planned for them. At Alina's suggestion, Craig checks on the people traffickers who are all still in prison aside from Rachel Healy who has now been released and who they will be questioning. Tyrone has to stay silent as Alina voices her fears that they are not safe from the gang.
