She's even more horrified when they explain that they're treating his death as a murder. As Rhona recounts Graham's last movements, Vanessa Woodfield urges her not to go looking for the killer.

Elsewhere, Charity Dingle wants the truth out of Noah and when he tells her that is was Sarah Sugden's, and not Graham's fault that he was in hospital, Charity sees red.
