Amid his new housing crisis, Martin struggles with Stacey's side job. The pair plan a romantic liaison at the allotments, but then she realises that she has double-booked with her client. Martin tried to act like he's fine with this, and encourages Stace to take the date to earn money while he looks after the kids downstairs.

But the reality of the situation soon hits Martin when he overhears Stacey flirting and rushes out of the house. This leaves her disappointed, and when Martin bumps into Jean Slater (Gillian Wright), they both confide their unease with Stacey's Secret Cam work. Martin becomes determined to get over it, and arranges to meet Stacey at Walford East for dinner.

Over the meal, they chat about Martin's living situation and agree that he can move into the Slaters' temporarily. But an innocent conversation over dessert triggers Martin and he snaps, with Stacey realising the extent of his problem with her camera work. After she leaves, Martin gets very drunk and starts a fight in The Vic.

Later, to put his mind at ease, Stacey decides to tell Martin what goes on during her Secret Cam dates, proving that it's nothing dodgy. The pair chat at the War Memorial; but Theo Hawthorne (William Ellis), who viewers know is her secret client, listens in and is angry to hear them theorise that he's a sad old man. When Stace gets a sexual request from the private client, she tells Eve - but before she can confide in Martin, he makes his own discovery on Stacey's laptop and things blow up.

She's soon horrified by a message from the client who makes it clear he knows details about her private life. Eve points out that it must be someone Stacey knows, and Stace is terrified to think she has a stalker. She tries to find out who it is, but then flowers arrive from the client and she realises he knows her address.

Eve quizzes copper Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) without giving away what's going on, and he explains that the police wouldn't be able to help in the theoretical scenario she describes, as no crime has been committed! Just how far will Theo go, and will Stacey uncover his identity?

Kim tells a saddened Howie Danes (Delroy Atkinson) and Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) that the 'Kimfluencer' is no more, and she's now just a broken woman. Howie is devastated to see her so low, and he gives Kim a pep talk about how strong she is, adding that therapy will help her heal. He convinces her to go live and speak to her Fox cubs, but Kim worries about the idea.

All must go well, though, as Kim is still online when Howie is trying to get her to log off for her therapy session, as he's rearranged the appointment. Kim reveals she cancelled the first one, but eventually agrees to attend. Kim begins the session full of bluster, but soon opens up to Dr Anwar about her issues. The doctor shares some techniques to help Kim deal with her anxiety and PTSD.

But later in the week, Kim falls out with Howie over her plans to talk about her mental health on her Kimfluencer channel. She wrongly thinks that Howie doesn't like the new Kim, but he explains he's just worried as she's vulnerable and people can be nasty online.

However, Kim is thrilled as her new mental health advocacy goes from strength to strength. When she finds Denzel Danes (Jaden Ladega) and Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd) arguing about him looking at girls online, Kim helps the teens have an honest chat and resolve their issues. Kim then makes plans to be more 'real' with her followers. Will things continue to look up for her?
