Theo then bumped into Amy, who asked him if he was a pervert, to which he told her he was a good friend of the family and that her friends were jealous.

“Theo is definitely the guy stalking Stacey on “Only Fans” asking her for money.
“The fact that he’s targeting a pregnant Lily who is vulnerable makes the situation even more sinister. I just hope Theo dosnt groom her and abuse his position. Stacey will go mental,” penned a second.
“Lily needs to learn Stranger Danger! This teacher is gonna groom her I got a bad feelinh,” said a third, while a fourth added: “Why do I feel like Freddy’s teacher is gonna groom Lily…”

Amy told Stacey about the older man who bought Lily’s trainers, but when she confronted Lily she was offered an innocent explanation.
Later, Stacey caught up with Theo to discuss the trainers, and there was clear tension between them.
Elsewhere, panicked Suki was desperate to keep Vinny quiet.
She gave a statement exonerating Nish, and the police released him.
Eve talked to Vinny and begged him not to ruin Suki’s life.
During a deeply emotional chat, Vinny issued Suki with an ultimatum that she end things with Eve in exchange for his silence.
Eve was absolutely devastated when Suki ended things to stay with her family.
Nish arrived home, and Suki played the dutiful wife as she committed herself to her future with him, leaving Eve heartbroken.
