And Erica’s worries are compounded when Pete gets defensive about his painkiller use and she is conflicted when Pete reminds her of her promise not to tell Doug.
Hayley, meanwhile, feels confused when James showers her with affection and praise.
And Carol is on the warpath when Anto suggests that Hayley may still have feelings for James.

Hayley denies she has any feelings left, but Carol is not convinced.
