7. Kush uncovers a secret
The news that the Panesar brothers have bought the Slater’s house from under them proves too much for Jean.
Feeling unwell, Kush offers to go to hospital for her as she’s supposed to be visiting a friend.

Daniel faked his own funeral in a plot twist earlier this autumn to spare Jean the pain of watching him die from cancer.
Will Daniel’s secret be uncovered by Kush next week?
