This week saw Maggie turn her attention to Roxy (Emily Reid) and Emil (Tomi May). Emil wasn’t keen on listening to anything Maggie had to say but Roxy decided to approach Maggie and hear her out. That led to Maggie getting an opportunity to patch things up with Emil, crossing two more people off her list.
Alex (Arthur McBain) spent the episode panicking about finding the money to pay off his debt collectors and he realised that Neil (Joe Layton) may be the person that stole it. He engineered a reason to get into Neil’s house by pretending he wanted to keep Roxy company while she babysat Neil’s kids.
Meanwhile Maggie turned up at the town anniversary planning meeting and was shocked to see a story about Jamie (Phil Dunster) on a projector screen, claiming he had a violent past.
