ended with Jacob nursing a stab wound<\/a>, and as the ITV soap returned, Jacob was seen unconscious on the ground. Back in the village, Leyla was still trapped while David and his father Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell) discussed the fact that Jacob hadn\u2019t been home or even been in touch.<\/p> Pollard assumed that Jacob was simply enjoying life as a student, but the sickening truth wasn\u2019t uncovered until David sought out Leyla. Letting himself into her home, David realised that she was locked in upstairs. As he released her, Leyla concocted a story that she had accidentally locked herself in \u2013 still unaware that Jacob was missing.<\/p>\n
But when she reached her phone, Leyla spotted the message exchange with Callum, and realised that Jacob had been the one to instigate it. With David relaying that Jacob hadn\u2019t been seen since the day before, Leyla told him a half-truth \u2013 that their son had mistakenly believed she was back on coke and that he had gone after her ex-dealer.<\/p>\n
Leyla worked out that Jacob must have met Callum at their usual haunt, and she and David drove to the viaduct. There, they searched and were horrified to find Jacob unresponsive with a bleeding wound. As David instructed her to call an ambulance, Leyla spotted her own knife on the ground and hid it in David\u2019s van.<\/p>
