Hannah can see through Abe’s mean tactics and she shows her support to Cleo.

The two women soon find they have a connection when they both share the fact they’ve suffered with eating disorders in the past.

Later on Hannah bumps into newcomer Rex (Jonny Labey) and he refuses to admit where Dave Chen-Williams (Dominic Power), who has mysteriously gone missing, is.

Abe is listening in and when he overhears that Hannah is a sex worker he immediately uses the information to his advantage and blackmails Hannah into staying away from Cleo.
