In last night’s episode, Rainie was unable to keep quiet any longer. She revealed to Stuart that she took drugs the night Ian went missing as she was feeling low after Ian berated her that day.

However Stuart was glad she was honest with him and assured his wife he loved her no matter what.

But soon, Rainie began to quiz Stuart on his whereabouts that night. He revealed he got into an altercation with Callum’s boss DI Thompson.
