Unable to control her anger, Ella smashes her birthday cake and goes to the footbridge as Liam Cavanagh watches the commotion.

Feeling better from the doctor's support, Ella arrives at her party and does her best to try and enjoy herself while everyone celebrates her day.

Ella starts to relax as the party gets into full swing and she's touched when ex Liam gives her a small star pendant as a gift. However, the party mood soon vanishes when June's nephew Gary interrupts the celebration. Gary aggressively confronts a horrified Ella and gives her a photo of her late friend Joanne, who she killed in a jealous rage when she was younger.

Ella is inconsolable as her world falls apart and rushes out of the party. Gary runs after her and as she falls to the ground, nurse Wendy escorts her away from Gary, who is grief-stricken. As Wendy gently comforts Ella in the waiting room, Ella suddenly explodes and attacks her. Will someone help Wendy before it's too late?
