But will she succeed? And is the game up for Eric?
As Tony leads the first Hollyoaks vigilante meeting to address women’s safety, the suggestions end up holding women accountable and Maxine decides to take matters into her own hands.
Elsewhere, a cunning Eric lands at Grace’s bar to get closer to the girls.
When she doesn’t receive support from Zoe and Verity, Maxine carries out her plan to catch the spiker alone and receives surprising results when all evidence points to one person, but her plan is foiled when Eric destroys all CCTV footage of the spiking attempt.
However, a shocking giveaway from Eric leaves his schemes exposed!
With a hidden agenda, Maxine is all smiles as she visits Eric’s trailer, but when Verity drags Maxine and Eric to the gym with her, Maxine struggles to focus with him around. Some wise words from Goldie light a fire under her and Maxine decides to go on a risky mission to gather information.
When a social post of Goldie’s self-defence class is littered with hateful comments, one username forces Verity to question which side she’s on.
Later, there’s a shock in store for Eric as he discovers that his laptop is missing.
Still reeling from the loss of his laptop, Eric and Verity search high and low, but has it already landed in the wrong hands? And Verity begins to have doubts as to whether she’s doing the right thing.
