Plot[]
Part One: Alina picks Dorin up from No.9. Tyrone puts on a brave face as he says goodbye to his son. Dee-Dee's disgusted to see Joel serve Carla with a letter commencing proceedings against her for slander. She's cheered up by Lisa's news that Nicky has convinced Ellie Benton to see them. Debbie tells Bethany that a friend who runs a cosmetic surgery company needs someone to write an advertorial on their new facility in Turkey. She offers to put in a good word for her but Bethany tells her not to bother as she's done with puff pieces. Billy's thrown into panic as Living Aids want to pick up Paul's wheelchair and voice synthesiser, as he hasn't downloaded his husband's voice messages yet. Nicky brings Ellie to the shop flat where Dee-Dee and Lisa tell her what Joel did to Lauren. Ellie confirms that the same thing happened to her, but their suggestion that she make an official statement sends her into a panic and she cancels the meeting.
Part Two: Tracy says her goodbyes before catching her flight to Spain. Steve's thrown when she suggests that Cassie is sticking around because she fancies him. Tyrone ignores a call from Alina. Bethany fills Daniel in on the promo job. He advises her to go for it as she doesn't have much else on. A panicked Alina shows up at No.9 and tells Fiz that she missed her plane as she couldn't find her passport. Ellie is compelled to visit Lauren in hospital. Ken books a holiday to Porto. Steve's shocked when Cassie reveals that she's going along as a companion. Summer helps Billy transfer Paul's voice messages to a hard drive. He's in tears as Paul's chair is taken away. The hospital releases Paul's body to the undertaker. Bethany asks Debbie to recommend her for the promo job. She's taken aback to spot Daniel hugging Daisy. Fiz tells Tyrone about Alina losing her passport. His lack of surprise confirms her suspicion that he took it. Lauren asks Ellie to help them nail Joel. Ellie's scared that he'll come after her.
Part Three: Tyrone admits to Fiz that he stole Alina's passport. He says he had to keep Alina in the country for the sake of his custody case. Fiz worries that he's getting into a fight he can't win. Dee-Dee and Lisa are surprised when Ellie turns up at the shop flat and gives them a full account of her history with Joel. Todd shuts up shop in order to give Billy all the time he needs in the chapel of rest. Ellie's story is almost the same as Lauren's, with Joel being assigned to her after she was caught shoplifting. She tells Dee-Dee and Lisa that she repaid his generosity with sex but his firm found out and made her sign an NDA. Bethany questions Daniel about his hug with Daisy. He tells her she picked up a sickly Bertie from school for him. Bethany realises she's being paranoid and apologises. Dee-Dee returns to Walcott Associates in order to substantiate Ellie's claims. Steve accuses Cassie of scheming to get a free holiday out of Ken and suggests she'll ditch him as soon as she gets the chance. Fiz returns Alina's passport, saying it fell inside Hope's boot. Alina believes her and books another flight. Dee-Dee threatens to report Mal Walcott for covering up a teen sex scandal unless he cooperates.
Part Four: Dee-Dee demands copies of any messages between Joel and the women he abused and for any witnesses to his lewd behaviour to give statements to the police. Bethany gets the job. She's booked to fly to Turkey tomorrow. Daisy gets her thinking about having one of the treatments herself. Walcott gives in to Dee-Dee and provides a list of potential witnesses. Amy realises that Steve wants to go on holiday with Cassie himself and is jealous of her and Ken's closeness. Billy stares forlornly at the empty spot where Paul's chair once stood. Joel gloats to Dee-Dee that his work suspension has been lifted. Fiz sees Alina and Dorin off. Tyrone finds out that she handed the passport over and accuses his wife of acting out of revenge. She points out she lied to protect him when she didn't have to. Walcott drop the NDA against Ellie. She agrees to give evidence against Joel. Lisa tells Dee-Dee that the case against Joel is being re-opened. They look forward to putting him behind bars once and for all.
