Vinny makes a deal with Mike

Kim is not pleased to hear about Gabby’s plans for Vinny to adopt Thomas. Viewers will know that Kim’s son Jamie is Thomas’s biological father, but has been absent from his life these past few years. Kim fears the adoption will erase Jamie from her grandson’s life, but Vinny and Mandy talk her round.

As the family toast to the future, Vinny’s happiness turns to horror when Mike suddenly arrives. The thug is demanding Gabby’s money as compensation and won’t back down until he gets what he wants.

Meanwhile, Gabby starts to suspect Vinny isn’t being honest with her about the upcoming case. She gives her hubby the chance to ‘fess up, but Vinny digs himself into an even bigger hole. Gabby is exasperated, but is reminded by Laurel of the secret she’s still harbouring.
