Guilt-ridden that he hurt Patrick during a desperate robbery to pay off dangerous gangsters, Oscar has befriended the vulnerable man over playing dominoes, and Patrick later invited Oscar to join his stag party.<\/p>\n

Howie Danes (Delroy Atkinson) is aware of Oscar’s crime, and previously blackmailed Oscar and his big sister Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa)<\/a> for the stolen cash!<\/p>\n

But when Howie started a row with Oscar, it triggered a panic attack for poor Patrick.<\/p>\n

Jack’s detective instincts led him to do some digging with Lauren, who failed to reveal the truth but did tell Jack that Oscar had been sleeping with a knife in his room, and that he had almost attacked Peter Beale (Thomas Law) out of fear.<\/p>\n

When Jack confronted Oscar and said that Lauren had told him “everything”, Oscar assumed that Jack knew about what he did to Patrick.<\/p>\n

But when Oscar claimed he hadn’t known Patrick would be at home that night, a stunned Jack realised that Oscar was behind Patrick’s injuries and subsequent trauma!<\/p>\n

Next week, Oscar himself comes clean to Patrick<\/a>, but how will Jack react, and will Oscar face punishment?<\/p>\n
