Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) assures Leanne that he left a message with Rowan, which the man obviously failed to pass on. Leanne flies off the handle, accusing Nick and Toyah of conspiring behind her back.

Leanne is emotional as she waves Simon off, but later, we see her telling someone on her laptop that Simon is gone, she's all alone and she wishes she could be with them!

Toyah continues her quest to expose the Institute, and Bethany tells her that a colleague of hers once tried to write an exposé about the cult, only to be met with a wall of silence.

Nick tries to get Leanne to see that Toyah just wants to protect her from a corrupt organisation, but Leanne refuses to listen, and when Nick goes out, she opens her laptop, smiles at the person on the screen and tells them she loves them.

When Toyah witnesses Leanne sharing another loving exchange, she thinks the person on the receiving end is Rowan, which Leanne denies.

Nick is shocked to be updated by Toyah, and heads home where he finds Leanne holding hands with Rowan on the sofa...
