Amelia stands her ground, wanting to make money, but her boyfriend Noah Dingle (Jack Downham) is also concerned about how much she is prioritising her social media. She tells Noah to be supportive or not be involved at all, so he offers to help with her college work, and the couple are soon back on track.

That is, until Noah takes a sneaky peek at Amelia's active phone notifications, horrified by what he sees.

Angry over Noah's interference, Amelia argues back when he tells Dan about the inappropriate requests she is being sent. But Dan confiscates her phone and laptop, as Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) tries to mediate between Amelia and Noah.

When a man arrives at the salon, claiming to be a customer, he watches Amelia with an intense, greedy interest.

He then blindsides her by revealing he's Lloyd, her top subscriber. Amelia is disturbed, as she thought she had been speaking to a woman. Lloyd demands one-on-one time with her, and traps her inside, but thankfully Mandy returns - though once Amelia calms down she refuses to tell her dad.

Dan is alerted to the situation after more of Lloyd's messages and a written note appear, and they realise that Lloyd knows where they live. Dan wants to take action, but distraught Amelia doesn't want to involve the police.

Lloyd then gets hold of her phone number, and Dan insists on calling the authorities. But will they intervene?
