Janine pretends to faint in front of Yusef and steals his wallet: There’s a lot of money inside, but not quite enough. Whitney sells her chains. She attempts to steal someone’s wallet, they push her away and she goes flying. Rob, who’s seen everything, takes Whitney into a café. He’s kind to her, drives her home and gives her his mobile number in case she ever wants to escape. Lauren sees them together. Janine drags Whitney home, presuming Rob paid her for sex. She’s relieved when Whitney explains what really happened, but Whitney starts to wonder if she should have found another David. Janine reassures her that they’ve still got time to get the money, but when Whitney’s out of earshot Janine phones David and arranges to meet him.
