Mercedes is no longer sure who or what to believe and begs policeman Sam Chen-Williams (Matthew McGivern) for an update on Silas. 

Sam reassures Mercedes that Silas has been arrested but that’s not good enough for Mercedes. 

She wants him gone…PERMANENTLY! 

However, Mercedes is in for a very BIG SHOCK. 

When she spots Silas being transported to a police van, she realises it’s an impostor and not the real Silas! 

 Who is the fake? And what's happened to the REAL Silas?

Elsewhere, Yazz Maalik (Haiesha Mistry) puts her job on the line to help spread the word of Leah Barnes' (Ela-May Demircan) ‘FREE DEMARCUS’ campaign. 

DeMarcus was arrested for the killing of policeman Saul Reeves (Chris Charles) after being  framed by the real killer, his bitter enemy Joseph Holmes (Olly Rhodes).

Journalist Yazz gives Leah her full backing however her involvement puts her own job at risk. 

Has Yazz just got herself fired?
