Later, after peeking into Nick’s briefcase, Leanne is incensed to find a wrapped Christmas gift for Toyah. This leads Leanne to visit the police station where she presents Craig with a stack of gifts from Nick to Toyah, implying they are co-conspirators.

The situation takes another dramatic turn when the police interrupt Nick’s mum Gail’s wedding, stating they need to question Nick and Toyah about a fraud allegation.

Later in the week, Nick seeks legal advice from Adam and Alya, who suggest he investigate to prove that Leanne framed him and Toyah. At the same time, Toyah tries to explain to Leanne that they never intended to hurt her.

The situation escalates when Amy Barlow accuses Nick of sending flirtatious texts while he was in Tenerife. This leads him to review some CCTV footage, where he notices that Leanne has two phones.

Soon, they discover that Leanne could potentially face jail time, prompting Toyah to urge Nick to drop the charges.

Cassie enjoys stirring the pot, hinting at an attraction towards Ken. She later confides in Ken about feeling inferior to his cultured, educated, and kind nature, leaving him feeling sympathetic, oblivious to her manipulative tactics.

Tracy, growing concerned, cautions Steve that Cassie seems to be setting her sights on Ken, pleading with him not to move out.

Later, Tracy confronts Cassie about a premature wage payment from Ken. Worried about her father’s wellbeing, Tracy entrusts Steve and Amy to keep a watchful eye on Cassie while she’s away in Spain, despite their belief that Tracy is overreacting. Will Tracy’s suspicions turn out to be valid?
