Now let's recap on what's happening this week...

The words, "give the man a break" spring to mind but no, David ends up sinking deeper into his misery, and it’s no use when he goes to visit Clayton in prison to tell him to stop feeding poison into Shona’s ear, because Clayton’s enjoying it.

And after his trip to prison, Nick ends up visiting Shona himself, but is sent packing armed with a message that sends a dejected David spiralling into the arms of Alina. She’s fed up too, and the pair drink beer in Victoria Garden, with a clear spark between them.
