D.I. Banks tells Freddie, Grace and Rex that the CCTV was inconclusive so Jacob's been released. Jeremy texts Prince from Dilly's phone inviting him to the allotment. Sienna decides to take control of the situation. Zoe and Theo are leaving for Dubai today. Prince tries to dissuade Zoe from going but rushes off after receiving the text from Dilly. Rex explains to Grace the extent of what he's involved in, admitting he returned to the criminal world when she turned against him over Lexi's accident. He urges Grace to help get him out of the mess he's in but she refuses.
Arriving at the allotment, Prince finds Sienna in the shed. She seduces him, claiming that as Dilly took something of hers, she's going take him. Prince can't resist temptation and they end up sleeping together. Pearl and Maxine say their goodbyes to Zoe and she and Theo leave in the back of a taxi. Returning to the flat, Grace overhears Freddie telling Robbie that what they had used to be dangerous and exciting but now they're stuck in a rut. She's devastated. Dillon's hurt when he shows up late to The Dog in the Pond to see Donny as he was buying baby James a toy but is accused of not caring about his son. Rex finds Grace crying in the garage. Convinced Freddie will keep going back to Mercedes unless she sorts herself out, Grace pulls herself together and decides she's going to meet with Rex's crime boss.
Rushing into Price Slice after his latest unfaithful action, Prince is crestfallen to have missed Zoe and Theo's departure. Grace tells Rex's crime boss - D.I. Banks - that he will be dealing with her from now on. Dillon begs Rex for another vape but doesn't get one. Ste then shows up with a peace offering and an apology for Rex for hurting him. Rex forgives him. Assuring her father that she's dealt with Prince, Sienna wants reassurance that there will be no more death. Freddie, Robbie and Rex are speechless when Grace arrives at the flat all glammed up akin to her notorious, former self. When alone with Rex, Grace tells him they're teaming up to take over the whole criminal operation.

Notes
Appearances
- Final appearance of Zoe Anderson.
- Stacey Solomon's sons, Zachary and Leighton, both appear in this episode as uncredited extras with no dialogue. The opportunity for Solomon's sons to appear on the show arose at the NTAs, when Stacey and Zachary came across executive producer Hannah Cheers. Learning how much of a fan Zachary has been of the show, Hannah invited him and Stacey to the set for a tour and for Zachary to appear as an extra in a scene. Leighton then caught wind of the opportunity and tagged along too.
