Back in the summer, Ian orchestrated Dotty's arrest at Ruby's club – fed up with her constant blackmail and threats.
With Dotty now facing an uncertain future, she reaches an agreement with Ian when he promises to change his statement, in return for her silence over Denny.

Seeing red, Dotty is unable to contain herself anymore and storms to The Vic, where she tells Sharon that Ian is the reason Denny died.
