While Chas collapses at his hospital bed, Victoria – John’s half-sister – is in her own internal struggle.

She confides that she is considering visiting Robert in prison.

After hearing Matty’s advice that she should give Robert a chance to explain, Victoria begins to waver.

However, John immediately becomes angry when he hears this news.

He is afraid that Robert will take advantage of the meeting to pull Victoria back to his side. In his anger, John does not hesitate to use sharp words to stop him: “Don’t you see? Robert will only take advantage of your weakness. If you go to see him, you will only help him.”

Victoria is at a crossroads: on one side is Matty’s sincere advice, on the other side is John’s cruel coercion. The audience clearly feels the confusion in her eyes – both wanting to clear things up, but also afraid that if she follows her heart, she will betray her family.

This promises to be a major turning point, as Victoria’s decision will not only affect herself, but could also shake the entire Sugden family. John, with his manipulative nature and fear of being exposed, is gradually revealing his lack of control. Meanwhile, who will Victoria listen to? Will Robert have a chance to be vindicated, or will John continue to manipulate everything?
