Maya Stepney is livid to hear that Jacob Gallagher has been blabbing to his friend Ellis about his relationship and orders him to keep quiet and keep away from her

David’s son Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) has been experiencing all sorts of mood swings thanks to his crush on teacher Maya Stepney (Louisa Clein). He confides in his mate Ellis Grant (Asan N'Jie) about the problems he is having with a ‘girl’ but Ellis is worried to learn the person Jacob has a big crush on is much older.

Ellis feels he should mention something to Jacob’s dad David (Matthew Wolfenden) but when Maya finds out what’s happened she panics and angrily confronts Jacob for confiding in Ellis.

Jacob is heart-broken when an angry Maya takes him to task and coldly tells him, from now on, he must keep quiet and keep his distance.

Elsewhere PC Swirling (Andy Moore) arrives and explains there have been developments in Amelia Spencer’s case and he’s certain she knows more about the hit and run accident than she’s letting on.
