Donna (Verity Rushworth) is in disbelief following Marlon's (Mark Charnock) revelation and tries to blame Eli (Joseph Gilgun) for everything. After finally being convinced of Marlon's complicity, Donna accuses Marlon of being a false husband in a sham marriage and reacts badly to his attempts at an explanation. To make matters worse, Marlon tells her about Eli's blackmailing and their further plans to rob the Woolpack. Marlon explains that he didn't tell Donna because she's a police officer.Suddenly, Eli returns home and feels the full force of Donna's rage as she busts his nose. A wounded Eli finds Debbie (Charley Webb) and together with Marlon, the Dingles warn Donna that to tell her colleagues would violate the Dingle code. When Debbie mentions that her career would be in tatters if she told anyone, Donna is trapped and warns Eli to get out of her life. A crushed Donna then tells Marlon that she can't continue to live with him and leaves. Is this the end for Marlon and Donna?
