As Kat and Alfie try to talk sense into Tommy, a more violent confrontation takes place across the Square. His temper boiling over, Ross storms out of the house, leaving Vicki alone with Joel.
Vicki once again tries to get through to Joel, their row getting heated as they swap home truths.
“You’re a pathetic little beta male,” Vicki snarls. “A silly little twerp.”
“I am so much stronger than you!” she screams in his face.
This is when Joel snaps, striking Vicki. And, as she lies unconscious on the floor, Joel begins recording on his phone. With Vicki lying prone, Joel unleashes amother violent attack, kicking and punching his helpless stepmum.
Afterwards, nursing a scratch on his cheek, Joel stalks away – leaving Vicki bloodied and semi-conscious on the kitchen floor. Will Vicki pull through? And will Joel face the consequences of his actions?
