Stacey slapped Joel last week after he insulted both her and daughter Lily. Back home, he tracked down her SecretCam account and put a sinister plan into motion. And, in last night’s episode (Monday, August 11), Stacey was horrified to learn that someone had leaked her pictures and videos online. Immediately suspecting Joel, she confronted the youth and his parents. As a defiant Joel plead his innocence, dad Ross jumped to his son’s defence. Getting nowhere with either Ross or Vicki, Stacey took matters into her own hands and called the police. But might this backfire on Stacey?
