As Vinny loses consciousness, Manpreet manages to snap the ties round her wrists and attacks Meena with some wood when she returns, inflicting a wound on her wrist. Meena eventually regains control though and ties Manpreet back up before heading to the doctor's surgery, where Liam confronts her about the fake pregnancy and her bloodied wrist. Meena warns him to stay out of her business - and if he doesn't, she'll accuse him of sexually harassing her at the Christmas party.
