Taking the first tentative steps in her relationship with her stepmother, Katya admits to Susan the depth of her problems with intimacy. With Susan’s prompting, Katya forces herself to put aside her fears and surrender to intimacy with ‘Cameron’. But when Katya plucks up the courage to suggest they spend the night together, Robert firmly rejects her. On a visit to his comatose brother, the real Cameron, Robert explains that Katya is making him experience unwanted feelings of care and affection – perhaps even ‘love’. It’s an unacceptable distraction from his mission and he decides that Katya must be removed, permanently.
Sky’s confronted when she sees that Dylan has removed her artwork from his car and mortified when he makes it clear it’s symbolic of the way he’s cutting her out of his life. Determined to stay focussed, Dylan starts a new job at the ScarletBar; he’s a success and regains Paul’s respect – not that he needs, or even wants it anymore. Meanwhile, Sky capitulates, theorising that her actions with Dylan are reminiscent of her affair with Lana – she senses a self-destructive pattern forming.
