On-screen, fans already know that Lauren Bolton accidentally consumed some of the drugs which caused her to see hallucinate and see visions of her dead abuser, Joel Deering.
However, as far as the police and the other residents are concerned, no one can put their finger on just how Lauren got into the state she was in and who it could have been that spiked here.
Elsewhere, TWO more mysteries were kept a secret from viewers.
Following Monday's episode, it was clear that something was amiss with Nina Lucas, played by Mollie Gallagher, and Summer Spellman (Harriett Bibby) when they returned from their drug-fulled outing screaming in terror and vowing to each other to keep quiet about something.
Throughout today's episode, viewers watched as Summer and Nina traced their steps which led them to an alleyway.
Without giving anything away, they tried to reassure themselves that they were "in the clear" as there was nothing there.
As the episode continued, they kept quiet from their other pals about whatever happened involving them.
But as the guilt continued to rack Nina, she told Summer that she thought they needed to inform the police of what they'd done.
Summer said to her: "Look, we went back - there was no one there.
"There has been nothing on the news."
Nina insisted that she "saw what I saw" as Summer tried to convince her it was hallucinations despite them both appearing to have imagined the same thing.
Nina then added: "We need to tell the police!"
Revealing the deadly secret she added: "We left someone to die."
But just who is it that the pair are referring too?

Give public a say on prison sentences, says Reform UK
The deputy leader of Reform UK has proposed a new law that would allow members of the public a say when they think criminal sentences are either too harsh or too Richard Tice said he wanted a system where if 500 members of the public said they disagreed with a sentence in a petition to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), it would have to decide whether to refer the decision to a said it would add a further safeguard on sentences and that would give the public more confidence in the justice system.A spokesperson for the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said they were not actively considering Tice's proposals. Tice told MPs that "even noble, experienced, wise judges can get things wrong", but that "maybe the public would have ever more confidence in a vibrant democracy, in our justice system, if it was like a system of treble check safeguard of the sentences, without being able to impinge on the original judgement that was following a case."He said it would give people more confidence in the "fairness and the comparative appropriateness of sentences within our system".An MoJ spokesperson declined to formally comment but said that under existing laws, a defendant can refer their conviction to the Court of Appeal if they believe their sentence to be unduly harsh or can refer a case they believe to be unduly lenient to the attorney general, the spokesperson proposed the bill in the wake of the case of Lucy Connolly, and referenced her in his speech in the House of to Connolly's case, he said someone sending a post on social media could be given a sentence "that might be significantly more than the sentence given to a shoplifter, a robber, a mugger, a drug dealer".Connolly was jailed for 31 months in October after admitting inciting racial hatred. She posted on on X calling for "mass deportation now", adding "set fire to all the... hotels [housing asylum seekers]... for all I care".Her message was reposted 940 times and viewed 310,000 times, before she deleted it three and a half hours May, she lost an appeal against her sentence. Tice has previously said Connolly should be freed and that her imprisonment was an example of "two tier justice".The CCRC, the body Tice proposes would assess any sentences a public petition has flagged, has faced criticism after a series of independent, arms-length body looks into potential miscarriages of justice in England, Wales and Northern Vera Baird KC, the new interim chair of the CCRC, told the BBC earlier this month the commission was "incapable of learning from their mistakes" and she wanted to "root out" the culture causing predecessor quit in January after an independent report concluded the CCRC had mishandled the case of Andrew Malkinson and had failed to complete basic work that could have cast doubt on his was wrongly imprisoned for rape in 2004. He was freed in 2023 when a judge declared his conviction unsafe when new DNA evidence on the victim's clothing was found to match another will debate the use of prison as a penalty for non-violent offences arising from social media posts after a Parliamentary petition created by ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe passed the 100,000 signatures threshold.

George Clooney and wife Amal look delighted as they meet the King's Trust Award winners and chat away with His Majesty at Buckingham Palace
George Clooney and wife Amal were in good spirits on Wednesday as they attended the King's Trust Award at Buckingham Palace. The Hollywood icon, 64, and his human rights lawyer wife, 47, dressed to impress as they attended the reception celebrating the winners at the palace. George and Amal couldn't contain their smile as King Charles III chatted away to the couple before greeting guests. The actor cut a dapper figure in a grey suit which he teamed with a matching open collar shirt. Meanwhile Amal made sure to turn heads in a black off the shoulder gown which she teamed with towering heels and a gold clutch. The Clooneys have long supported the work of The King's Trust, formerly known as The Prince's Trust. The Amal Clooney Women's Empowerment Award, launched in 2019 with the Trust, celebrates the achievements of inspirational female youngsters around the world. Amal posed in a snap with Alice Ngitira who was nominated for a King's Trust award for her work with young people and her dedication to overcoming mental health challenges. She was recognised for her crafting workshops which she developed when she was hospitalised. Barrister Amal is known for her work defending women's and human rights issues across the world, while her and George co-founded the Clooney Foundation for Justice back in 2016. The non-profit organisation focuses on defending human rights, particularly free speech and women's rights, by providing free legal aid and advocating for policy changes. The King met with the winners of the eight UK categories during the day as well as the three winners of the three global categories ahead of the awards ceremony, which will be held at the Royal Festival Hall on Thursday. Also mingling with the royal was make-up mogul Charlotte Tilbury, who looked to enjoy a spirited chat with the royal, and national treasure Dame Joanna Lumley. Actor Joseph Fiennes, presenter Declan Donnelly, Fearne Cotton, Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley and members of girl group the Sugababes were also present at the glitzy reception. The star-studded reception greeted a beaming Charles after he had appeared to enjoy the performance by The Herds, a group of life-sized animal puppets operated by artists at the event earlier this afternoon. The contraptions slowly made their way down a staircase in the Grand Hall before the Gorilla moved towards the King and held out its arm. The public art group are travelling from the Congo Basin to the Artic Circle, to raise awareness of humanity's bond with the natural world and the impact of climate change. They have just arrived in London ahead of a series of performances at landmarks throughout the capital this weekend.
