Plot[]

Part One: Kevin's proud of Abi for speaking out. She's pleasantly surprised by how supportive the comments on the Gazette article are. Bernie tells Dev she's going to forget about Kit and focus on the twins. Cassie's ungrateful when Tyrone expands her role at the garage to include valeting cars. A worried Nina tells Stu that Roy won't speak to anyone or leave his cell. Abi and Nina are buoyed when a petition is set up for the prison documentary to be scapped. Toyah and Nick offer to spend more time with Simon in an bid to stop him from going to the retreat. He sticks to his guns. Daniel has an interview at the STC about lifting his suspension. Billy arrives to pick Paul up from the hospital but another driver nicks the disabled space while he's reversing his car. When he refuses to budge, a passing Kit flashes his ID and moves him on. Dean Turnbull turns up at the garage and asks to borrow money from Abi now that she's doing well for herself. She tells him to get lost when he makes a veiled threat to let people know what she's really like.

Part Two: Paul tells Bernie that the bloke she was with the other day helped him out. Roy's irritated when another inmate, Roscoe, enters his cell and tries to befriend him. He yells at him to get out. Simon's furious when Peter calls him asking about the retreat having been warned by Nick. He chews Nick out for giving Peter a reason to hit the bottle again. Nina claims victory when the production company releases a statement saying they'll consult the victims' families if they do a second series but Abi feels it's too little, too late. Simon tells Toyah that Peter's offered him a job on the yacht. He wants to accept but is worried it'll amount to nothing again. Cassie does a bad job with the valeting to spite Tyrone. Tyrone opens an e-mail at the garage and is shocked by its contents. Bethany responds to an apology from Sarah by demanding she stay away from her. Mary takes Bethany in hand when she finds her in distress. Bernie goes to the police station to thank Kit for aiding Paul. He reiterates that he wants nothing to do with her but agrees to give her one chance to explain herself if she'll leave him alone afterwards. Tyrone has some bad news for Abi.

Part Three: Tyrone tells Abi that the e-mail he opened contained a sex tape featuring her. She says she's never made porn in her life but, watching the video herself, she sees that it does indeed appear to be her. Bethany tells Mary that Nathan's return has made things difficult with Sarah and Daniel. Mary advises her to stick two fingers up to the past. Abi concludes that someone filmed her having sex while she was on drugs. She suspects Dean, given his earlier threat. Kit tells Bernie he's getting himself tested for MND. He feels he's intruding on her family when she brings him to No.5 but Bernie says he's her family too. Roy threatens to call the guards when Roscoe won't leave him in peace. Simon lets Rowan down in order to join Peter on the yacht. Rowan quietly seethes. Roscoe tells Roy that Stu asked him to look out for him. Allayed, Roy accepts his offer of friendship and a loan of his favourite book, Oliver Twist. Abi's disturbed to learn that the video has been posted in the comments of her Gazette article.

Part Four: Cassie relishes telling Kevin that Abi once made a sex tape. Bethany makes up with Daniel and Sarah, saying that Nathan's return brought back a lot of painful feelings. Bernie shows Kit her biscuit tin full of mementos, including a baby photo of him. He remains cold to her, especially when she admits that the reason she failed to show up to meet him ten years ago was because she'd been on a bender the night before. Kevin's stunned by the video. He refuses to believe that Abi didn't know about it and tells her she's sunk to a new low. Roy gets on with Roscoe and calls the cafe to thank Stu for his intervention. Bernie isn't able to make a connection with Kit. She's upset when he leaves, not expecting to see him again. A paranoid Abi sees Dev laughing at something on his phone and grabs the handset off him. It turns out to be innocent. Nick worries about Leanne being on her own with Rowan at the retreat. Abi calls Dean and agrees to pay him off as Cassie listens in on their conversation.
