She insists she doesn’t mind, Lauren’s horrified. Rob arrives home, Lauren tells him she’s a mate and wants Whitney to come home. Rob answers for her; she’s busy. Intimidated, Lauren leaves. Rob tells Whitney a β€œmate” is coming round that he’s in debt to, could Whitney just be nice to him? Pouring her a drink, Rob lets a man in, leaving Whitney alone with him. Afterwards, Whitney sits numbly on the unmade bed as the man lets himself out. Having learnt the truth, Janine heads to the bedsit, noticing the man leaving.

Rob grabs her and forces her down the stairs. Whitney pleads to stay, but Rob pushes her out of the door towards a waiting car.
