Whitney will begin the week resolute to find out more information on Gray, and begs his former boss Laura to speak to Chelsea. Laura admits that she's already tried but Chelsea didn't want to listen.

Whitney is left further frustrated when she overhears Kheerat telling Gray he'll come to the wedding, keen to put their former feud behind him.

This leaves Whitney feeling evermore isolated in her quest and she storms off.

Desperate for more answers, Whitney decides to question Kheerat about Gray, but he defends him.

Frustrated, Whitney attempts to approach Chelsea instead, but it backfires and she ends up with an unwanted invitation to their wedding.

However, as she attends Mick and Janine's Best Spouse in The 'Ouse evening at The Vic, Whitney is given a major clue, thanks to a comment from Eve.

After making a breakthrough on Christmas Eve, Whitney is in complete shock as she uncovers the truth and comes to the terrifying conclusion that Gray killed Chantelle.
