Tracy Barlow is seething with anger as Ken continuously draws comparisons between her and Cassie. Frustrated by the lack of action from the authorities,
she lashes out at Craig for failing to arrest Cassie. Realizing she can no longer rely on the law, Tracy decides to take matters into her own hands.
Determined to carry out her plan, Tracy heads to the ginnel, where she engages in a suspicious transaction with an unknown man. Just as the deal is taking place,
Debbie unexpectedly arrives on the scene. Tracy’s heart races—how much has Debbie seen? Has she just jeopardized her entire scheme?
Not one to back down, Tracy moves forward with her next step. She invites Cassie to No.1 for lunch, pretending to extend an olive branch. As they sit down, Tracy skillfully steers the conversation toward their ongoing feud. However, her intentions are far from friendly. With a calculated move, Tracy slides a bag of drugs across the table, her eyes filled with malice. She urges Cassie to indulge, fully intent on watching her spiral into destruction. Cassie stares at the bag, her inner demons clawing at her resolve. The temptation is overwhelming—but will she take the bait and fall back into old habits?
Meanwhile, Ed sits down for a heart-to-heart with Dee-Dee. Concerned about her choice to put her baby up for adoption, he gently questions whether she might regret it down the line. Dee-Dee, however, stands firm. She assures him that she has thought it through and knows deep down that it is the best decision. But will she continue to feel that way as time goes on?
