Hollyoaks spoilers follow.
Hollyoaks' Dodger Savage's huge secret is set to be exposed next week, and he is confronted with a huge ultimatum.
Dodger's return to the show came with the reveal that he is an undercover police officer, whose mission is to bring down the criminal operation that is currently led by Grace Black, Rex Gallagher and corrupt copper DI Banks.
But this week, he ends up back in the village properly, reuniting with his family to support his twin sister Sienna Blake when she collapses again.
Next week, Sienna fears that she is the talk of the village after her latest scare and is keen to avoid any questions about her health – unaware that she is being poisoned by Martha Blake.

Meanwhile, Dodger is able to spend some precious time with his daughter Myra-Pocahontas Savage-McQueen and promises that he will try his best to stick around. But his ex Maxine Minniver, who knows about his alter ego, spots Dodger's bloody knuckles and demands answers.
"Maxine walked away from her relationship with Dodger when she found out that he was undercover," our insider explains. "But she still cares about him, so she confronts him about what he is involved in – and is horrified by what she learns."
She goes to the police station with this new information and confesses all to Donny Clark – who is also trying to work out if there is someone on the inside leading the operation.

Dodger has a listening device planted in Rex's phone, and later, he overhears Grace talking about her grisly plan for Maxine after her interference in the case.
The pieces begin to fall into place for Grace, who previously accused Robbie Roscoe of being a mole, and Maxine and Dodger find themselves facing the wrath of the villain. But Grace also faces pressure from DI Banks as the stakes get higher.
Scared about what the future now holds, Dodger and Maxine discuss leaving the village together. But Maxine realises that Dodger needs to see this job through, so she tells him that he needs to stay and let her leave.
