What a nightmare!
Meanwhile, Nathan has spent the whole day stressing about their date.
Is Valerie and Nathan's date a disaster just waiting to happen?
Elsewhere in Letherbridge, Rob Hollins (Chris Walker) and Harriet Shelton (Carley Stenson) investigate when a woman is found tied-up in the boot of her own car.
Sasha Norris (Adrienne Grant) claims she didn't see who jumped her.
But things take a suspicious turn when Rob discovers the car has been stolen.
CCTV footage then shows Sasha's son Michael (Thapelo Ray) with the car and taking lots of cash out.
WHAT is going on?
Is there a connection between Michael's strange behaviour and Sasha's mystery "kidnapping"?
ALSO Valerie starts her first full day of training as a Healthcare Assistant.
What could possibly go wrong?!
