As Suki Panesar begins to execute her plans for a new life, she is horrified to discover that Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) now knows her truth and blackmails her.

While Suki remains strong, Priya threatens to out Vinny Panesar (Shiv Jalota) for helping his mother, prompting Suki to give in and offer her £2000. However, Priya ups her price to £3000.

This prompts Suki to take money from the Panesar call centre to give to Priya but unbeknownst to them both, Nish is watching the exchange.

When confronted, Priya lies and covers for Suki and says it was to help her and her daughter Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) find a new home following Priya and Nish's kiss.

A furious Nish, however, stops Suki from giving Priya, leaving Suki to do her utmost to pay scheming Priya.

While Suki gives Priya £200 from the Minute Maert in the meantime, Priya demands the full amount.

Will Priya get what she wants?

Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) is consumed with worry when her stalker and attempted rapist Theo Hawthorne (played by William Ellis) attempts to contact her on the day of his plea hearing.

Theo is keen to meet up with Stacey but she is scared to. However, after hearing her daughter Lily Slater (Lillia Turner) speak to her co-parent Ricky Branning (Frankie Day) about her fears about the situation, Stacey decides to meet with Theo.

In the tense meeting, Stacey does her best to manipulate Theo into pleading guilty at the plea hearing, suggesting they can resume a 'relationship' once he has served his time in prison.

In response, Theo acts badly, prompting Stacey to fear that she has just made the situation a whole lot worse.

Later in the week, Jack proves a shoulder to cry on for a drunken Stacey as she offloads her fears about Theo.

Jack then takes Stacey back to his house to sober, where Jack's new housemate Sam Mitchell (Kim Medcalf) is unimpressed by Stacey and makes her contempt for the Slaters known.

When Jack and Stacey are alone, Stacey confesses to a shocked Jack that she staged the crime scene when Theo was left in critical condition by her cousin Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier) to make it look entirely like self-defence.

Following her troubling confession, Jack reveals he must report her actions to the authorities in light of his position in the police.

In response, Stacey details everything that happened to Jack on that fateful night, begging him to stay quiet about what happened.
