What to Read Next
With Jacob visibly unsettled by Todd's remarks, he plucks up the courage to confront her about crossing the line. But Todd has a cover story already planned…
Loudly protesting in front of several witnesses at The Hide, Todd lies: "I had no idea. You were the student who she…? Jacob, I was talking about Liam's divorce [from Maya] - a messy, unpleasant situation with someone that he thought he knew but didn't. Nothing else.
"Do you really think that I would bring something so horrific into a casual conversation? What actually are you accusing me of?"
As Todd's new housemate Vanessa Woodfield steps in to intervene, Todd continues to play the victim by adding: "It's OK. He didn't know my dad just died."

Unaware of what the latest dispute centred around, Manpreet casually confirms that she'd told Todd the full story about Maya over a week ago.
It's the cast-iron proof Jacob needs that Todd has been playing mind games with him - but what will he do next?
Spoilers for next week's episodes have confirmed that Jacob soon seeks out Todd for a quiet word at Vanessa's place.
When the conversation doesn't go well, Jacob decides that the time has come to report Todd to the hospital's HR department…
