Maxine starts questioning why she eats meat after Toyah tells her how much animals suffer. Natalie is embarrassed when the police question her about her sex life. She realises they want to believe she and Colin killed Tony together and breaks down, saying she could never kill her child. Vik asks Dev to lend him £8,000 for his taxi firm until he can sell the house. When Vinny keeps pestering her about sleeping with Colin, Natalie tells him it's nothing to do with him. Leanne lets slip to the customers about Natalie sleeping with Colin and is horrified when the word spreads. Emma Taylor tells Curly that, unofficially, she thinks Cavanagh is stalking him. She explains he's done it before but she has no proof and needs his help to trap him. Vera lays into Natalie for sleeping with Colin, accusing her of having no feelings for Des or his memory. Les is trapped on an island in the lake when Tyrone steals his rowing boat. Dev agrees to lend Vik the money on the condition he pays interest. Vik is forced to agree. Natalie accuses Vinny of telling everyone she slept with Colin. Scared of crocodiles, Les is stranded on the island. Rebecca grows tired of only stealing hours with Martin and stuns him by saying she's going to take a six month contract in Dubai. He begs her not to go but she's adamant.
