COSTELLO WIELDS HIS POWER OVER BETSY Having been out all night, Kit tells Lisa that Betsy’s been arrested. Betsy sits alone in a police cell, tired and confused, while Lisa rails at Becky and tells her that Betsy’s been struggling ever since she showed up. Becky’s stung. An officer interviews Betsy and tells her that according to DI Costello, she damaged a police car, resisted arrest and then tried to attack him. Betsy refuses to comment. Costello meets up with Becky and spells out that she needs to disappear again or it will be worse for Betsy. 

BETHANY’S FIRST DAY IS HOPELESS Bethany starts at the salon and is put in charge of Hope who’s on work experience. When a client shows them some miracle pills that promise strong hair, nails and weight loss, Hope’s impressed. Bethany explains these companies are simply after your money and don’t give a damn about your health, using her own situation as an example. As the client goes to leave, she realises her pills are missing. Bethany accuses Hope and orders her to empty her bag. Hope refuses and as Bethany tries to grab the bag, her stoma splits. 

BERNIE’S BLOOD BOILS OVER NAOMI As Asha returns home it’s clear she’s struggling as she snaps at Dev. Realising she’s overstepped the mark, Asha apologises and assures him she’ll be fine on her own. Curling up on the sofa, Asha pulls a blanket over her head and shuts out the world. Dev confides in Bernie how fragile Asha is. Bernie reckons someone should have a word with Naomi before she pushes anyone else to the brink. 

ELSEWHERE Tracy’s sick of Cassie, lounging round the house. Having heard Tyrone’s conversations with Fiz about her favourite band, Tracy’s hit with an idea. Handing Cassie tickets for a gig, Tracy explains that they’re Fiz’s favourite band, she can use them to buy her way back into her good books and with a bit of luck they’ll be out of each other’s hair. Todd moans to Sarah about the repair bill for his car and how it’s going to bankrupt him.
