Gary meets Lou in response to a text and refuses to help her with money, accusing her of blackmail, and saying that he regrets helping her thus far. She tells him about the text she's produced and says she's sending it to Maria. He threatens to tell the police, which will result in her girls being taken into care. As he walks away, she clubs him to the ground. She hears Summer and Nina approaching and hides. In their drugged state, Nina and Summer find Gary but fail to recognise him. They are scared and run off when he momentarily stirs. A sobbing Lou comes out of hiding and is found by a dog walker who rings an ambulance after she claims the man is her husband.
