She contacted an old friend for ketamine for Greg to spike Ian&#8217;s drink. Greg was taken aback when Ian apologies for messing with him and Greg panicked having already spiked his drink. Greg nervously warned Ian not to drink before the meeting, but Ian brushed him off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Ahead of the gig, Lorcan was embarrassed when he could only afford one pint for Ruby. Spotting his disappointment, Ian took pity and hands him the untouched spiked drink. Greg, distracted on a phone call, assumed the drugs were a dud and relaxed, but Ruby grew uneasy as Lorcan spiralled after barely half a pint.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Greg and Carol were horrified when Lorcan collapsed in the bar.
