Holly might not be able to keep her deception going
for much longer with Nico on the case.
Nico continues to
develop feelings for Jason, deluding herself into thinking that the
policeman is interested in her.
Nico gets the wrong end of the stick when she spots Jason buying flowers and later finds an identical bunch in her
school locker. The mystery gift is actually from newcomer Alfie
Nightingale, who has a crush on her.
Convinced that Jason is chasing her, Nico later makes a fool of herself
when Jason interrupts Hollyoaks High's Christmas party to propose to his
"special girl".
Nico jumps straight in to say yes, but is soon
left humiliated when it becomes clear that the proposal was actually
meant for Holly.
With Nico furious, it's not
long before Holly seems to be paying the price when someone starts
targeting her with cruel pranks, including putting worms in her face
cream.
The mystery culprit also plants two
dolls in Holly's locker that look just like her and Jason, but the
female doll has its head ripped off in a sinister attempt to scare her.
As Holly wonders who could be responsible, Nico
strikes gold when she overhears her on the phone to Robbie (Charlie
Wernham) and realises that she's cheating on Jason.
Nico
decides to expose the truth by writing a note to Jason which reveals
that Holly is being unfaithful, but will he believe it? And when Jason
later disturbs a hooded figure trashing the Cunninghams' flat, has Nico
struck again or is someone else responsible?
