People have been talking about Cher online. Theresa sneaks Joel away from Goldie. Victor and Juliet show up at Ollie's. Mercedes and Sylver try explaining themselves to Cher and softening the blow.

Theresa pretends to slip on an egg custard inside the Salon de Thé and, along with Joel, tries to get two free apple pies. They're caught out by Cleo, who's disappointed with Joel. Sid's struggles continue as he returns from rehab with Courtney. Cher turns to alcohol for comfort and snaps at Mercedes and Sylver before heading off alone. She is watched from a distance by someone. The doll reveals a new message announcing the sinners will still be punished but no one sees it. Ollie takes more ketamine and opens up to Juliet. He wants more drugs from Juliet but she refuses to give him anything else.

Cleo catches them out and Goldie walks in shortly behind. Goldie's unaware of what's happened but knows something has gone on thanks to Cleo's reaction. Sid wallows in self-pity. Juliet panics when she finds Ollie unconscious on the kitchen floor, having overdosed. Nana finds the message on the doll and Mercedes and Sylver fear for Cher's safety.
