As she looks at other items worth £300 she’s stunned by what she finds. Dee-Dee later visits Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton)in hospital. When Lauren reveals that she’ll soon be moving to Belfast, Dee-Dee covers her shock.
As Dee-Dee points out the coincidence to Joel he gives nothing away. Determined to get to the truth, Dee-Dee follows Joel. She's later left stunned at Joel’s audacity as she demands the truth.
Summoned by Dee-Dee, Joel's ex-wife Emily Wilkinson (Ellena Vincent) calls at the solicitors and Dee-Dee braces herself for a tough conversation. In recent episodes of the long-running ITV serial drama, her suspicions have been raised following his behaviour. Joel has been hiding many things from Dee-Dee as he has been concealing Lauren at his flat, who recently gave birth to his baby.
He also lied to his fiancee when he bought medication to terminate Lauren's pregnancy. The box of tablets arrived at their address, but he told Dee-Dee it was actually for a client. Lauren was planning to permanently relocate to Northern Irelan.
