Asha Faces Her Abuser Again

Asha Alahan (Tanisha Gorey) has been struggling since she was attacked by Naomi, a drunken patient who hurled racist abuse before spitting on her and turning violent.

In a shock encounter, Asha spotted Naomi again—this time hosting a careers fair. Summoning her courage, she confronted her abuser and reminded her of the vile incident. But Naomi dismissed the claims, pretending not to remember and warning Asha not to make “false allegations.”

The denial left Asha shaken, and viewers furious on her behalf.

Bernie Takes Action – But Goes Too Far

When Bernie Winters (Jane Hazlegrove) heard about the ordeal, she was determined to help. After learning from Kit that evidence against Naomi was weak, Bernie decided to take matters into her own hands.

At Naomi’s conference, Bernie found her laptop unattended and added a slide that read: “I’m a massive racist.”

When Naomi began her presentation, the damning words appeared on a huge screen behind her. Bernie then told the shocked audience about Naomi’s racist abuse of Asha, while Nina and Amy filmed the moment for proof.

At first, Bernie was proud of her “justice moment.” But fans quickly warned online that she had only made things worse.
