Elle is shocked to discover Donna has been scaring Cass and insists she come clean. But when Cass threatens to make the stalker pay, Elle stops her confessing. Determined to protect Donna, Elle reluctantly helps her cover up the crime, but when Cass later catches Donna disposing of evidence, the gig is up and Cass calls the police.

As Cass insists Donna be charged, Elle bursts in and claims Donna is innocent, claiming she was Cass’s stalker.

As the police take Elle away, confused Lucas tries to intervene. But in order to save Donna, Elle is forced to shut Lucas out and stick to her story.

When Elle returns home and admits she didn’t think Lucas would understand her motives, the rift between them grows. Meanwhile, frustrated Donna spells it out for Cass once-and-for-all that Elle has falsely confessed; Donna is the guilty one.

As Cass realises the depths of her daughter’s resentment, pride stops them reconciling and they both break down – alone.
