When Mary receives a message from an unknown number, asking to meet her, she's thrown - and even more so when she sees a dishevelled Faye.

When Faye tells her she loves her and wants a fresh start, Mary sees through the lies, and Faye resorts to blackmail. With a private photo in her possession, Faye insists that Mary must change her statement to the police, or she will send a non-consensual nude photo of her to all her contacts. Faye later pays a visit to Mary's home to remind her that her time is running out, and Mary is stunned over the extent of her cruelty.

Mary's daughter Rhona (Zoë Henry) is appalled when she arrives to find a smug Faye ordering Mary to meet her the next day to confirm that her statement has been withdrawn. Mary is simply desperate to stop the photo being sent out, and Rhona promises to fix things. But when Rhona's husband Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) lets slip that she's told him what's happened, Mary feels betrayed.

As April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) reveals she's inspired by Grandma Mary taking a stand against Faye, Mary feels guilty that she plans to lie and withdraw her statement. But, on her way to the police station, Mary is torn. What will she decide?
