Summary[]
Dot becomes suspicious of Nick. Sharon wants to confront Grant about the £30,000 in his building society. Eibhlin plans a romantic meal for her and Eddie.
|
Dot cannot help but wonder why Nick had two people in her house and decides to search for heroin. Nick meets his dealer outside a portacabin to get more drugs. Dot breaks down when she cannot find anything. Nick is shocked to find the house in a state and realises Dot still does not trust him. He lectures her on how she has helped him come off the drugs slowly, and he is thankful for that. Sharon asks Grant about the £30,000 in the building society in front of Phil. They argue and Sharon walks off. When Nick is alone, he takes the heroin which he received from the dealer and prepares the kit, ready to take another hit. Etta puts her foot down and insists Hattie will not work for Ian, despite it being what Hattie wants. Nick has stomach cramps and heads up to bed. Eibhlin burns the dinner for her and Eddie and gets frustrated with herself. Eddie tries cheering her up but it does not work. They have a heart-to-heart and he manages to talk Eibhlin back around. Nick sneaks downstairs in the middle of the night and does heroin in the kitchen over the stove. |
