Instead of saying that it was Abigail, or even someone working at her school, she lied and said it was "some boy" she had started talking to online.

"I get it. You were vulnerable, lonely. You wanted someone to lift you up and love you back", Tony said. "Hey, thanks for being honest with me. I promise this will stay between me and you, alright?"

Tony walked Dee Dee to school, where Abigail was waiting. As he thanked Abigail for coming out to give Dee Dee a pep talk last night, school head Nancy Osborne walked out.

She said she wasn't aware this had happened, but when Tony said he called on Abigail, she praised her for going "above and beyond".

Left alone, Abigail told Dee Dee that she was proud of her for "sticking to the script" with the story about the boy.

Later on, Dee Dee texted Abigail to ask how he could thank her. Abigail quickly replied telling her to send a suggestive photo to prove her loyalty. Although she hesitated and looked nervous, Dee Dee went into the toilet to do as she was told...

How much more advantage will Abigail take before she is stopped?
