Upcoming episodes see Ian (Adam Woodyatt) secretly lift even more blank cheques from Lucy to help him pay for the launch of his new restaurant.
When an inquisitive Lucy (Hetti Bywater) begins to question how Ian is affording so many extravagant purchases, he tells her about finding Derek Branning's lock box with £10,000 inside. He also lies that Janine Butcher has made a further investment in the business.
While Lucy is appeased for a short while, she is later left confused as she chats to Janine at the restaurant's grand opening. Although Janine has high hopes for the business, she makes it clear that she has only made one investment.
The pieces of the puzzle slowly begin to fit together for Lucy when she receives an unexpected letter from the bank which advises that her business account is overdrawn.
When it's clear that Ian has been forging cheques from her account, Lucy is livid to realise that she still can't trust her dad after everything they've been through in the past year. As she confronts Ian, Lucy isn't sure whether she can forgive him this time...
