In Friday’s episode Adam assures Sarah that Lydia is lying.

Sarah demands dates and times from Lydia of when she supposedly slept with Adam.

When Sarah suggests it’s lies, Lydia shows her the threatening texts, making out they’re from Adam.

Sarah points out they’re from a different number but when Lydia suggests she calls it, Sarah’s shocked to find a phone ringing in Adam’s drawer.

Adam arrives home to find Sarah dumping his stuff outside.

At No.13, Abi tearfully packs her things. Alone in Victoria Garden she swigs vodka and scrolls through pictures of Seb.

Toyah finds Abi knocking back the drink and urges her to go to a support group.

Abi agrees just to shut her up. Later Abi introduces Toyah to Dean, making out he’s her sponsor.

Toyah’s pleased but soon Dean hands Abi a bag of drugs.
