So gym boss Tane cancels his work schedule and follows Felicity to work at Salt.

However, his good intentions soon start to get on Felicity's nerves!

They have to try and get back to their everyday lives.

But later, Felicity is left reeling when the events of that infamous night come back to haunt her...

If she doesn't pay up, the blackmailer will post a video online from the night of the sexual assault...
