Cher struggles to absorb the news. A distraught Sylver storms off. Sid's upset with Juliet's intervention. Sylver punches Romeo to the floor. James witnesses it and shouts at Sylver to stop. Sid returns to the alleyway where his leg was ran over. An apologetic Peri stands by him. Juliet tracks Sid via Find my Friends and wants to put things right. Mercedes admits to Cher that she was being blackmailed by Donna-Marie. Sylver returns to the pub and puts his hand in a box of ice. He informs Cher that James has taken Romeo to the hospital.
Imran and Brooke meet Juliet and Sid at the park. Imran reassures Sid that they're all there for him, while Juliet is determined to help Sid overcome his demons so that he can find happiness. Cher shows up at the hospital. Donna-Marie is frosty with her, but agrees to give her access to Romeo when Cher brings up her blackmailing. Tony boasts twenty new followers on social media to Diane. He's optimistic they can get through a rough financial patch at the Hutch with a successful relaunch. Romeo breaks Cher's heart when he admits he doesn't love her. Cher tells him about Donna-Marie's blackmail towards Mercedes and, once alone, texts "Jade", filling her in on what Mercedes has done. "Jade" thinks Cher should make Mercedes pay. Tony believes he's found a solution to the Hutch's money troubles: doubling the price of the new menu items. Diane's impressed with the figures he shows her.
Sid's mood is boosted when Imran explains how the "new Sid" is cool, and not like the "old Sid" - the son of a racist. "Jade" encourages Cher to poison the cocktail at the pub so that customers get sick and Mercedes is left taking the blame. Cher's hesitant but follows through with the plan. Tony confides in Scott that he made it look like raising the prices at the Hutch would fix their money troubles when it actually won't. He admits he lied to Diane so that she could have some peace. Scott wonders if Verity can help out by contributing Edwards's inheritance, but Tony claims she's sunk it into the law firm. He hopes tomorrow goes well, or else it'll be the end of the Hutch. Cher moves out of the pub, despite Mercedes' plea that she stays. Misbah's advice to Imran regarding Sid gives Imran an idea on how he can help Sid come to terms with his prosthetic leg. Sylver collapses at the pub, having consumed Cher's poisoned cocktail.Cast
