This Christmas, Nick is refusing to give up on his illicit relationship with Toyah, but unbeknownst to them Leanne is determined to make the lovers pay for betraying her and has hatched a plan to frame them both for fraud.
Returning from Tenerife, Nick calls at the bistro and is ushered into the office from Leanne who explains there’s a problem with the accounts.
Going over the figures and discovering a series of payments made to TLH Holdings, he calls the bank to freeze their account.
When Toyah arrives for work, excited that Nick is back, her excitement turns to shock when Kit arrests her on suspicion of theft and fraud by abuse of trust.

As Kit shows him the account from TLH Holdings, Nick assures him that he’s never seen them before. And at the station, a row with Toyah and Leanne escalates into a fight and Max films it.
When Max tells Lily about Leanne and Toyah’s fight, she says it should have been Uncle Nick who got thumped as he’s the one who cheated.
