Vicious Joe Fallon has his claws into Bridget and refuses to release her from her debt. It seems this arrangement has been less about the money and more about Joe's twisted desire to have Bridget for himself. Determined to keep his hold on her, the loan shark proposes a new business venture for the pair. However, Bridget has been desperately trying to escape Joe's clutches for weeks and abruptly turns down Joe's offer. This unleashes a rage in Joe that Bridget has never before seen, which leads to devastating consequences. Much to Angela's relief, Tommy is finally home following his near fatal heart attack.
