Ray confronts Mel, revealing he knows that she knows he is already married to Nicola and she reveals she also knows he is married to Maddie. He tells her that he knows she has emptied his bank account; Mel asks about his secret lives and he says as an undercover police officer, he meets women and sometimes gets caught up in a fake personality, but he says Mel is the only person who has ever known the real him and she is the person he wants.
