DS Swain searched for answers about the fire that broke out at Stefan’s flat.
She headed round to the garage to question both Abi and Kevin about what happened.
The fire was being treated as arson and DS Swain had doorbell video evidence that Abi was at Stefan’s house before the fire.
To add to Abi’s troubles, Kevin thought she could be to blame for the fire, after she earlier declared Stefan “had it coming.”

Abi was shocked that Kevin doubted her innocence, but not as shocked as she was when she found out Jack lied about spending last night with Hope and Ruby.
Abi confronted Jack saying: “Someone set fire to Stefan’s car and I need you to swear to me that it wasn’t you.
“Because the fire spread and the office went up in flames. Stefan was inside, he could’ve died.”
Jack confessed to her that it was him saying: “I was only trying to trash his car. Trying to get my own back at him. That’s all it was.”
But soon realised that he should take the blame for the arson to protect and cover for his son.

As Kevin was being released, Jack was being brought in by police to be questioned after he confessed to the arson.
Abi and Kevin were shocked to see Jack being taken in.
