But will Marshall fall for his father's lies?
Despite being grateful for Jai and Laurel taking him in, Marshall is defeated to learn that Hotten Academy can’t accept him back without his dad’s approval. But when Colin agrees to Marshall returning to Hotten Academy, Laurel and Jai fear it may only be because he wants his abuse of Marshall to be kept quiet.
Later, when Jai opens up to Laurel about his fears of the impact on their family of them taking on Marshall, he doesn’t know that devastated Marshall is listening to the conversation on the stairs.
The next day, when Colin appears asking to see Marshall, Jai and Laurel are unconvinced by his apparent change of heart and only agree he can see his son if Marshall gives his consent.
When Colin tries to convince Marshall he’s sorry for disowning him over his sexuality, Marshall is wrong-footed by his caring approach. Telling his son that he loves him and wants him to come home, Marshall is shaken by the request and Colin does his best to manipulate him into coming home.
The following day, Marshall’s confused as his dad continues to love bomb him with messages. With Marshall now very confused, could this soon impact others?
