Having overheard Paul talking about his kidnapping, Vinny is getting increasingly suspicious that things don't add up.

He goes to see Liv about the inconsistencies in his dad's story, and becomes determined to confront him about his lies.

With Mandy's hen night underway, she is oblivious to what sort of man she's preparing to marry... and the danger that Vinny is about to find himself in.

Vinny seizes the moment and tells Paul that he has seen the van he was kidnapped in hanging around the scrap yard.

Panicking that his cover is about to be blown, Paul puts in a call to Connor. But little does he realise, Vinny is right behind him and has heard every word.

Now knowing that the kidnapping was all a lie to con Liv out of her life savings, Vinny tells his dad he's going to tell Mandy everything.
