The McQueens continue to stress over the doll. Ella is annoyed when Darren ignores her. Cher wonders whose sin is "wrath". Verity teases Sami. Theresa wonders if the threat could be over her killing Calvin. Mercedes thinks that it's about Sylver. Sylver worries that he might go back to prison. He goes to confront James. Tony is annoyed with Sami and Verity arguing. He says that all he wants is shared custody of the children, and then Diane can have what she wants. He fires Sami before leaving. Diane starts to have second thoughts. Yazz visits Tom and refuses to break up. She vows to save their relationship. Sylver confronts James and threatens him. James's words do little in convincing Sylver of his innocence. Goldie threatens to knock Sylver out if he does not stop attacking James. Charlie, Ella and Juliet meet in The Folly. Juliet sympathises with Ella over her home situation. Ella is horrified to learn that Charlie has been selling drugs.
Diane tells Edward of her second thoughts. Edward's attempts to convince Diane that she is doing the right thing fail, and she decides that she wants to slow down. Mercedes has a plan to catch out the blackmailer. Edward pays Tony a visit, he shows him Diane's hair. He tries to convince Tony to hurry with the divorce. Mercedes visits James, she wants his help to pay off the blackmailer. She, in turn, blackmails him over the shooting, and tries to use Romeo to change his mind. Juliet tries to sell the idea of being a runner to Ella, but she is adamant (although conflicted) that she won't deal. Juliet says that her superiors planted weed in The Hutch kitchen. Ella rushes to grab it.
Yazz tells Sami about her desperation to build her empire from home. She wants to prove to Tom that they should be together. Sylver transfers the money just as the time runs out on the doll. Sylver worries that he ran out of time, but Cher thinks that they transferred the funds in time. Tony visits Diane, telling her that he still loves her, but gives her the papers signed and his ring. Juliet films Ella placing the weed in Charlie's bag and admitting what it is on camera. Juliet then blackmails Ella. The police arrive and George informs Sylver of the video that they have been sent. The footage is from the doll, of Sylver confessing to the crime. He arrests Sylver for the murder of Breda.Cast
