2505: Calvin comes clean with Carmel

A frantic Carmel desperately searches for Calvin who ran off after seeing Nige. She walks in on Sasha accessorising bags and a sullen Lauren indulging in some heart wrenching poetry. They're soon silenced and quickly realise all is not well.

When Calvin returns, Carmel asks the girls for some space and demands an explanation from Calvin. Calvin steels himself and eventually admits the dreadful truth about the night he thought he'd killed Nige. As his words come tumbling out, Carmel realises the past months have all been lies and backs away, unable to look him in the eye. Unwilling to be alone with Calvin, Carmel insists that Lauren comes back and reads her poem to them all. Silence resumes once she's finished and the girls disappear leaving her alone with the man she thought she knew.

Struggling to get her head around the deceit, Carmel listens with horror at Calvin's involvement in Warren's dark world and realises her husband is a bent copper. A devastated Calvin reels when Carmel tells him she can never trust him again.
