Kit tells Lisa that two blows to the head from a heavy weapon – likely a crowbar – killed Joel. Lisa is shocked when Yasmeen tells her that she threw Mason out because he had a crowbar.
Later, Betsy grows intrigued when her mum orders her to stay away from Mason. She warns Mason that the police are onto him.
Behind the factory, Kit catches Mason throwing a crowbar away in the bin.

Dee-Dee tells Ronnie that the police think Joel was attacked with a crowbar. Then, Ronnie rumbles Debbie’s plan to throw him a surprise birthday party.
However, his good mood is ruined when Kit and a police colleague arrive with questions for him and Ed. Ronnie insists that he was home alone the night Joel went missing – while Ed claims he was with Dee-Dee and Michael.
Ronnie tells Kit that he last used the satnav when he and Michael helped Joel move out of his flat. Later, at the party, Michael reveals they actually drove to Joel’s flat in his car.
Debbie realises that Ronnie lied to her. Will she tell Kit?
