“Stop lying, you know exactly what I’m talking about and that’s why you don’t want to talk to me. You know your dad killed Paul.”

“All of your lies it’s all part of a conspiracy to cover up my brother’s murder. You’re a bad person Ruby – a truly bad person.”

Realising Isaac was in mental distress, Jean tried to talk him down and make him feel heard.

But it backfired and he locked them all in the office.

He said: “She needs to tell the truth, that’s all I want – to put things right and to get Paul justice.”

Jean managed to talk him down and they left the office just in time for Lola to arrive with Patrick and Denise.

But Isaac was distrusting and told them they were all in it together to stop him getting to the truth.

“I’m seeing clearly for the first time in a long time,” he said.

“You’re all in on it – you’re trying to stop me from getting to the truth about Paul and about her. 

“But it hasn’t worked because despite everything I found the truth, and once it comes out everyone will see her for what she is and you will regret betraying me.”

Viewers were left in tears by Isaac’s breakdown.
