While Dev and Asha go out together, Bernie ends up alone in the café with Mal. He locks the door and opens up about his feelings, but when she rejects him his behaviour becomes unsettling. Later she finds her head cut out of a wedding photo and believes Mal did it. Frightened, she tells Kit she once spent a platonic night with him and he has been stalking her ever since.
When Mal later causes a scene in the café, Roy throws him out and Bernie angrily warns him to stay away or she’ll kill him; he just laughs. The next day police discover a man with a serious head injury, it’s Mal. Bernie turns up with bags packed but DC Browning arrests her for assault. At the station she insists she’s innocent, admitting she met him that night but saying he’s been harassing her ever since. Now everything depends on whether Mal survives to give his version.
