Following last week’s shocking reveal about Stu, Kelly Neelan (Millie Gibson) is appalled to read the news online. And as Zeedan Nazir (Qasim Akhtar) returns from his holiday, sister Alya (Sair Khan) updates him on recent developments and how worried she now is about the effect on their gran, Yasmeen (Shelley King). But Kelly vows to hear Stu’s side of the story, and she and Aadi (Adam Hussain) find the man laying out on the street, drunk and barely conscious.

Later, as Stu wakes up in hospital, Kelly prepares to ask him some tough questions about what she’s learned. She also informs Yasmeen of Stu’s whereabouts, and Yasmeen arrives to see Stu – but refuses to hear him out. Stu is left feeling worthless and decides loyal Kelly is better off without him, so he calls her a nuisance and says she’s not welcome, upsetting the teen. Meanwhile, as Alya departs for her own holiday, Zeedan is keeping an eye on his gran. Stu is discharged and heads to Speed Daal to see Yasmeen, and Zeedan sends him away, but she later finds Stu at the house looking for his watch.

Stu refuses to leave until Yasmeen has heard the truth, but as he talks, she furtively alerts Zeedan via phone. Zeedan brings police officer Craig back with him, who arrests Stu for breach of the peace. Yasmeen then distracts herself by organising a charity event; but will Stu be back? What is it that he’s accused of, and is all as it seems?
