An unconscious Suzy is then rushed to hospital, where Leyla can’t help but feel guilty as she sits by her friend’s bedside. The police then admit that Callum has an alibi and that there’s no evidence to place him at the scene of the attack, all of which leaves Leyla having to tell Suzy once she’s woken that her assailant is still at large.

Leyla is then left upset and disconcerted when she starts receiving threatening messages from Callum. And when Caleb finds her sobbing in the graveyard, his advice is to play to win where Callum is concerned. The trouble is, Leyla’s efforts result in her being kidnapped. And when Suzy subsequently discovers that Leyla’s missing, she and the family are left filled with dread…

In the wake of him deciding to move back in, Marshall is left very confused when his dad love bombs him with messages. But will his anxiety about the situation also end up impacting on others?

Soon, Charles is encouraging Alex to go for a job interview, and Naomi is delighted when he’s successful. The trouble is, the vacancy is in Wales and Alex is in a quandary as to whether he should take it. But Charles talks him into it, and when Alex leaves, the village vicar ends up putting his foot in it where Naomi is concerned.
