In upcoming scenes, Leyla is surprised when Jai’s old dealer finds her at Take A Vow.
She’s tempted when he offers her a deal on some cocaine and gives in.
Feeling guilty but excited Leyla hides two bags of coke from an oblivious Suzy.
At the Hide, coked up Leyla offers to pay for everyone’s food as suspicious Suzy watches on, aware that Leyla is out of character.
Later on, Suzy slams Leyla for her drug use but feeling judged, Leyla defends her acts, triumphant that she’s getting away with it.
Meanwhile, Leyla has her lost card returned to her by a concerned Jai.
Seeing this, Leyla’s dealer senses an opportunity to get Jai back in his books, blackmailing Leyla into being involved.
Leyla’s dealer offers her an ultimatum; persuade Jai back into the fold or he’ll cut her off from any future cocaine.
Leyla doesn’t have time to decide before Liam arrives.

Later, Suzy recognises the dealer from yesterday and orders him to leave Take A Vow, leaving an agitated Leyla without a source of coke.
Frustrated Leyla chastises Suzy for getting rid of her only coke supply, but Suzy is horrified when Leyla brings up the death of Holly Barton after she refuses to give Leyla the details of her own dealer, and the idea of blackmail enters an opportunistic Leyla’s mind.
When threatened with the idea of Moira finding out about Holly, Suzy is left reeling.
Suzy begrudgingly hands over her dealer’s number and vows that the two of them are done.
There’s a flicker of regret from Leyla before she calls the number.
But Leyla’s erratic behaviour hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Later, Liam ponders Leyla’s recent mood swings and comes to a conclusion.
Has he discovered Leyla’s drug addiction?
