Nervous and evasive, Robert tries to avoid the meeting—but it soon becomes clear there’s no running from his past.

2. Kev’s Identity Is Revealed

The shock doesn’t stop there. Viewers learn that Robert and Kev secretly married during their time in prison together. Now released on day leave, Kev is ready to rekindle their relationship and even meet Robert’s family.

4. April Struggles to Keep Her Secrets

Elsewhere, April Windsor’s lies begin to pile up. Caught skipping school by Rhona, she insists she has everything under control. In reality, she’s already knee-deep in Ray’s drug deals. Dylan follows her to a university campus and is horrified to witness her selling drugs. But can he step in before April goes too far?

5. Laurel Questions Gabby’s Commitment

While Gabby Thomas dreams of a secure future with Vinny as he moves to adopt Thomas, Laurel raises a serious concern. Still stung by Gabby’s recent fling abroad, Laurel questions whether she’s truly ready for such a commitment. As Gabby pushes forward, Laurel’s doubts could prove prophetic.
