Goldie is still adamant that the young lad was responsible for the death of her brother, Sylver McQueen (David Tag) who was left to perish in the inferno that engulfed the village.
Now that Bobby is back, Goldie is a on a mission to get a confession out of him and gather enough evidence to take him down!
However, when Bobby overhears Goldie’s plan to get him arrested and locked up, he’s simmering.
Dressed in his angel nativity costume, he squares up to Goldie and issues her a sinister threat!
Elsewhere, Eric Foster (Angus Castle-Doughty) is finding it difficult to turn over a new leaf and put the online forum behind him.
Woman-hating Eric quickly falls back into his old habits by agreeing to help Mason Chen-Williams (Frank Kaur) access the site that feeds anger and vitriol toward women.
When Eric’s sister, Verity Hutchinson (Eva O’Hara) catches Eric on his phone she realises he’s lied to her about changing his ways.
Verity reads the hateful messages aloud and tells Mason if she ever sees him around her brother again, she will go straight to his parents, Dave (Dominic Power) and Honor (Vera Chok) and tell them what he has been up to.
Reflecting on what she’s just seen, lawyer Verity starts to wonder whether prison is the best thing for her brother.
However, Eric begs her not to give up on him.

Later on, Olivia is annoyed to overhear a conversation between Romeo and Prince in which her fiancé calls her a diva!
She’s fuming!
Meanwhile, Shaq Qureshi (Omar Malik) tries to surprise Verity but unintentionally upsets her by reminding her of her late father, Edward (Joe McGann).
