Later, Nick finds himself in serious danger when he climbs into a taxi, only to discover the cab driver is one of Harvey's heavies. Handing him a burner phone, the thug orders Nick to make Leanne and Simon retract their evidence against his boss otherwise he'll never see his boy again.
Making his choice, Nick later calls Leanne and explains that he won't be returning to their safe house because Sam's life is at risk, but when Natasha discovers what has been going on, she's furious.
Storming over to Number 8, Natasha confronts Nick and demands he rings the police or she'll do it for him. She stays true to her word and heads to the station, however Shona follows and warns Natasha that her actions could land Sam in even further peril.
