Seeking solace, Vinny confided in Ravi, only to be taken aback by the shocking news that Suki was planning to leave.
Later, Suki was heard on the phone to Eve revealing that she had decided to stay in Walford for the time being.
Despite Eve’s insistence that Nish pushed her down the stairs, Suki refused to turn him in, explaining that she couldn’t bear the thought of an innocent man being imprisoned.

They probed into Nish’s history, specifically inquiring about any instances of violence. The tension escalated, leading to Nish being taken into custody for questioning.
