Since then, Aadi’s life has begun to unravel, with his relationship with Lauren based on lies, and his stepmother Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) hiding his deceit from the family and trying to help him repay the money he owes.

Things reach a climax next week, with spoilers suggesting a significant turning point, according to the Mirror.

Amid an incident at Dev and Bernie’s wedding that results in Bernie being rushed to hospital in a serious condition, Aadi resorts to alcohol. His relative Aunty Rani arrives at this point, and after contributing towards the wedding costs, she is eager to monitor what’s being spent. Aadi is in a state of panic, fully conscious that he’s attempting to cut corners to save money.

When the situation with Bernie escalates, the outcome is uncertain, but the family are all called to the hospital.

In the following episode, things become overwhelming and he resorts to alcohol. After a confrontation with Theo Silverton, he falls and hits his head, indicating Aadi is on a downward spiral.

As Lauren becomes increasingly concerned for her new boyfriend, it’s evident he’s avoiding her, unable to handle the guilt. So when she sets out to find him and does, she’s unprepared for what he’s about to reveal.

Aadi decides he can’t continue lying, and opts to tell Lauren about the LSD and how it was his drink laced with the drug that she ingested, leading to her severe injury. A photo depicts Lauren looking stunned, but how will she react to Aadi’s deceit?

Before long, Aadi determines that the truth must come out, and he braces himself to confess everything to his father Dev and the rest of his family. Viewers will have to tune in to see his reaction, and what this means for Aadi ahead of his exit from the show. All will be unveiled soon.
