Suki was worried sick as she told Eve that Vinny knew everything, and pleaded with Eve to stop him from talking to Nish – knowing they couldn’t risk the dangerous man finding out. Eve found Vinny, who was not interested in talking to her. But Eve asked him to at least hear his mother out, as she loved him very much.

Meanwhile, DS Miles and DC Callum Highway (Tony Clay) arrived to speak to Suki again, questioning her on whether she was being abused by Nish. Callum asked if Suki knew the term coercive control, and the officers went through the best ways of asking for help from the police. But Suki claimed she had no problems with her husband, and secured his imminent release by insisting that he hadn’t pushed her down the stairs either.

Soon, Vinny returned home to see Suki again, where he ultimately promised to take the secret of his mum’s affair to his grave, so long as she dumped Eve and committed to staying with Nish from now on. So Suki paid Eve a visit, explaining her situation.

She told Eve that the only thing she was sure of was that she loved her, but that she wasn’t strong enough to stand up to Vinny and come out, despite previously promising Eve that she would. Eve tried to persuade Suki not to bow to the pressure from Vinny, as he would forgive her eventually; but Suki walked away.
