Archie was trying to remove the wasp nest from this roof when Sam walked by and though he tried to start a conversation with her, she told him that she knows what he did to Peggy and no longer wants any association with him. Archie said he put up the money for the bail, but Sam's well aware that his offer was eventually declined by the family. Despite Sam's clear distrust of her uncle, he managed to get her to have lunch with him though she brought Ricky along just in case. Having sent Ricky off to deal with the wasp nest, Archie proposed that Sam move in with him as there is ample space in the house. Ricky walked in and over heard Archie's offer and strongly dissuaded Sam from accepting. Archie played the concerned-uncle card and told Sam her father would have wanted him to look after her. Later, when Archie got wind that Billy needed a place to stay, he offered him one of the other rooms in the house, thinking Billy will come in handy in his big plan.

Syed and Christian were worried that Zainab will read the note apparently sent by the blackmailer and raced to get to it before she did. While trying to figure out if any mail had arrived, Syed got another text message, demanding £300 for the secret to remain just that. Syed went to Christian after leaving the cash at the drop off point and Christian couldn't believe that Syed gave in to the demands. Lucy meanwhile collected the money and immediately bought herself a new phone, but got ambushed in an alleyway, by a hooded Jay.
