When the journalist suggests to the audience that Fiz was complicit in her husband’s crimes, Tyrone sees red, climbs on the stage and slaps him round the face. The hotel manager calls the police.
Adam tells Fiz that Tyrone’s been arrested for assaulting the journalist who wrote the book.
Fiz begs the journalist not to press charges against Tyrone, will she be able to save Tyrone’s skin?
The police let Tyrone go without charge and reveal that Fiz talked the journalist round. Fiz and Tyrone have a blazing row.
Fiz shows him a video of him punching the journalist and tells him it’s gone viral and as a result, they’ve brought the launch date forward to the end of the week.
Adam tells Fiz and Tyrone that he’s spoken with a libel barrister who is happy to take on the case, but there’s no guarantee they’ll win and their costs alone will be £100k.
Fiz and Tyrone break the news to Hope that the book will be published and they couldn’t afford to stop it. Hope rails at Fiz and Tyrone for failing to protect her.
The police call at No.9 and after explaining that they’ve had a number of complaints about the video, arrest Tyrone on suspicion of assault.
Fiz calls at No.5 and tells Chesney about Tyrone’s arrest. Hope announces that she wants to stay with Chesney Brown (Sam Aston). Is the family falling apart?
Tyrone explains to Fiz how he bought up all the stock from the local bookshop, including the cutout in a bid to stop people reading the book.
As Hope lets herself in, Fiz and Tyrone freeze. Fiz hides the John Stape books from Hope while Tyrone distracts her in the hallway.
