Suni had called a drunk Nicky revealing he had ended up in a bar with the homophobic thugs who previously attacked them.

Terrified, Nicky began to try to get to Suni and a sober Ethan stepped in and offered to drive.

But as they made their way there, Nicky became even more hysterical when Suni didn’t answer his phone and demanded that Ethan drive faster.

Unfortunately while speeding through the country lanes, Ethan flipped the car.

When he came to he desperately tried to wake Nicky up – but then made a horrifying decision.

Climbing out of the car, Ethan realised how it looked and decided to drag Nicky to the other side of the car to make it look like he had been driving.

And then just as he had finished, he fled, leaving Nicky to be found by his aunt Moira Dingle.

He raced back to the village as Nicky was rushed to hospital with a severe brain injury and tried to pretend everything was fine.

But when his grandmother and father started to make a fuss of him for getting his new job in human rights law, Ethan could take it no more.

Excusing himself to the kitchen, he broke down in silent tears, consumed by the guilt of what he had done.

And with Nicky fighting for his life in hospital and requiring emergency surgery, will Ethan get away with it?

Or has he made a mistake that will cost him his career in the law – and his freedom?
