19/04 - Laurel's sickened by the truth

The alarm bells are ringing loud and clear but Laurel just needs to hear the words and so continue to plead with Sandy to tell her the truth.

As she starts to realise that Sandy's not going to betray Ashley she goes to visit Rachel. As she listens to Rachel's version of events the awful truth finally sinks in.

But in her absence Ashley grows agitated and won't leave Sandy alone. Leaving the house to clear his head his worst fears are confirmed as he sees Rachel and Laurel talking.

That's enough for him, he returns home like a madman looking for Sandy's blood, and as he taunts him he eventually snaps and hits Sandy - but a shocked Laurel is standing in the doorway, she's seen everything!
