Eve’s week gets off to an unpleasant start when she falls victim to a verbal and physical homophobic attack. Callum comes to her aid, but is horrified to find his own father, Jonno is the culprit.

It’s been six years since the pair last came face-to-face. Viewers will recall Jonno cruelly rejected Callum for being gay and bullied him over his relationship with Ben.

Forced to do his job, Callum places Jonno under arrest, as he protests his innocence and blames his mate.
