Rocky attempted to weasel out of his crime by arranging a deal to sell the café to Nish, but Kathy was resolute in her belief that the diner should stay in the family.

Kathy had to face the music, however, as she admitted she didn’t have enough money to cover the repairs, with the pair subsequently meeting with Nish as a last resort.
After Nish and Kathy agreed a deal, the pair conversed in private about the plans for the property, with Nish revealing he would turn the café into flats.
Just as the negotiations seemed complete, he quipped about a potential insurance scam, testing Kathy’s resolve as he teased Rocky's involvement in the fire.

This set alarm bells ringing for Kathy as she became suspicious of her husband, viewing his every move with a sense of scepticism.
She later approached Harvey to ask why he had fallen out with Rocky, eventually piecing together that Rocky was the one who set fire to the café.
As she returned home, Kathy demanded answers as she smashed plates in the kitchen, with her anger turning to outrage as Rocky reasoned he committed arson for the benefit of the family.
As Rocky faced his family's wrath, he was left to plead for Kathy's forgiveness, but it was to no avail as she demanded he never see her again. Will Rocky be able to turn things around?
