SAM’S DELUSIONS REACH BREAKING POINT As Sam envisions Roy at his side and in his ear he heads to the Rovers where he finds Will alone in the back room. While Will’s engrossed in a shooting game, Sam hears Roy warning him that Will is going to kill him too. As Sam flees, a concerned Will goes after him. Sam dashes into the cafe and locks the door behind him. Will bangs on the door while inside Roy finds Sam in a terrible state. Sam reels at the sight of him, totally thrown by the fact he can see two versions of Roy; the real Roy and the vision Roy. As Nick, Toyah and Leanne gather outside, begging Sam to let them in, could Roy be in danger from an increasingly distressed Sam?
