Breakfast is tense in the Hills' household. Nina leaves, unable to endure Sarah's insinuations that she stole her job at Bridge House. Irene tries to placate Sarah, who scoffs "it's a wonder she's not on probation herself. She's a prostitute, mum". Sarah soon realises Irene knew all along. Feeling betrayed Sarah storms out. Sarah confronts Nina and brands her a sinful hypocrite. When Sarah threatens to tell Alex, Nina calls her bluff: "if you really want Alex to know then go ahead. I think he'd be proud of me".
