Nicola’s lies lead to Paul and Ivan splitting up

Disgusted by what Nicola has told him, Rodney tells Paul about Ivan’s infidelity. Of course, Paul’s livid and confronts Ivan, but when he protests his innocence, Paul doubts him.

So Ivan marches off to speak to Nicola about what she’s been saying and tells her to admit it’s not true.

But manipulative Nicola pretends to be hurt and lambasts Ivan for denying they’ve been together. Rodney sends Ivan away and comforts his daughter.

Later, Laurel speaks to Nicola, wanting to know what’s going on, and Nicola even lies to her, saying she and Ivan slept together.

The next day, Rodney’s beginning to wonder if Nicola’s being totally truthful. But when Paul comes to speak to her, Nicola ramps up the lies and tells him she and Ivan were having an affair.

And when Rodney seeks her out to get the lowdown, she keeps on lying and even makes out Ivan took advantage of her.

Rodney, though, knows Nicola’s got a history of bending the truth, and he heads off to make things up with Paul.
