Elsewhere, Peri Lomax’s (Ruby O’Donnell) suspicions about influencer Rayne Royce (Jemma Donovan) are growing by the day.
Peri has worked out that Rayne’s live stream on her social media platform about her former boyfriend, Brent’s, suicide, doesn’t add up.
Prince McQueen (Malique Thompson-Dwyer) also has major suspicions about Rayne and tries to tell Romeo Nightingale (Owen Warner) about Rayne’s manipulating, but he bottles out, too worried about alienating his best mate.
Meanwhile, a defiant Rayne says that Peri is trying to turn everyone against her.
Romeo tries to reassure her and tells her that she will always come first to him and he’s not going to listen to the criticism from anyone else.
