Denise Fox's mental health is spiralling ever since her distinctive 'D' necklace ended up buried under the floor of the cafe alongside the murdered Keanu Taylor's body!
In an escalation of her troubles, Denise has been 'seeing' the ghost of the dead Keanu Taylor and fears he's back from the dead to confront her.
When her stepson Ricky Branning hears her talking to herself, he's' really alarmed, telling sister Amy Mitchell that they need to do something.
Amy knows that Denise is in a bad place but is still desperate not to rock Denise's marriage to their dad Jack Branning any further. She tells a sceptical Ricky that everything will be fine if an exhausted Denise gets some sleep.
Things take a terrifying turn, however, when she has a manic episode and flees the house. Stacey Slater finds her hiding in a bush and she gets her back inside, where Yolande Trueman and Pastor Clayton try and calm her.
With Denise's family around her, Stacey reveals that she's sure Denise has all the signs of psychosis. She makes it clear that her only hope is to get professional help.
But Denise has other plans in mind as she pays another visit to the only person SHE thinks can help her...
Her incarcerated killer ex Lucas Johnson!

George opens up to Cindy about everything he's been told and the awful details of adoptive dad Eddie Knight's upcoming court case.
Concerned for her ex, Cindy tells him that she will always be there for him if he needs her.
But who will be her priority... George or Ian?
