On tonight's Coronation Street (February 5), evil Geoff Metcalfe managed to manipulate wife Yasmeen further after she stood up to him over the abuse she's been suffering.
Geoff told Yasmine he needed to do further rehearsals for his magic act and asked her to get into the box for more practice. But he ended up taking his keys after locking her in and heading off to the pub.
While locked in the box, Yasmeen suffered a panic attack and was eventually rescued by a stunned Tim.
When Geoff came home, he found Yasmeen out of the box and with Tim, but he insisted to his son that he thought he'd left it open and they were just "mucking about".
Yasmeen corroborated her husband's story before Geoff asked Tim to leave and give the two of them some time alone.
While they were alone, Geoff apologised to Yasmeen for giving her a 'fright', but Yasmeen asked him how, knowing she was claustrophobic, he could be so cruel.
What to Read Next
Meanwhile, Tim told Eileen about finding Yasmeen 'accidentally' locked in the box.
While Tim said Yasmeen was probably drunk, Eileen was suspicious that Geoff could have locked her in by accident.
Geoff then told Yasmeen that everything he does is for her and he would never deliberately set out to hurt her.
But Yasmeen didn't believe him and said that if her mother could see her now, she'd tell her to run as fast as she could.
However, just when it seemed Yasmeen was ready to stand up to Geoff, he broke down in tears and told her about his abusive ex-wife while begging for her forgiveness.
Geoff's admission led to Yasmeen appearing to forgive him again and assuring him she wouldn't leave him.
While many viewers have been finding Yasmeen and Geoff's story a difficult watch, the soap has also been praised for highlighting the different kinds of abuse that can go on in a relationship.
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
