Mercedes is unaware that Wendy is in cahoots with her father, evil serial killer, Silas Blissett (Jeff Rawle).
Silas and Wendy have secret plans for Bobby and Mercedes has become increasingly estranged from Bobby as manipulative Wendy has sunk her claws into him and turned him against his mum.
Now Mercedes wants her son back at home but it’s proving impossible.
Tonight, and still being kept away from Bobby, Mercedes decides to resort to extreme measures to get Bobby back.
