Desperate: Sasha injects heroin when boyfriend Fletch dumps her

Brother Calvin finds his sister unconcious in the village after she has slipped into a coma

In a Trainspotting-esque scene, drug dealer Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) puts too much of the drug into her bloodstream and when she passes out in his dingy flat, he dumps her in the street.

Luckily brother Calvin, played by Ricky Whittle, stumbles across Sasha's body and gets her to the hospital while she can still fight for her life.

Initially berating himself for not realising his little sister is taking drugs, his guilt soon turns to anger when he finds out fiancee Carmel (Gemma Merna) knew she had a problem all along.

The policeman ends their engagement and vows to look after his sister, while Ste wonders how long it will be before the village knows he was the dealer behind Sasha's overdose.
