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?

Pierce Brosnan, 71, is supported by his stunning granddaughter Isabella Smith, 26, and dapper son Dylan, 28, at The Thursday Murder Club afterparty
Pierce Brosnan turned the premiere for his latest role The Thursday Murder Club into a family affair as he headed to the after party with his granddaughter Isabella and son Dylan on Thursday. The actor, 71, is starring alongside Helen Mirren, Sir Ben Kingsley and Celia Imrie in the film adaptation of Richard Osman 's best-selling novel, which is set to be released on Netflix on Friday. After posing on the red carpet for the premiere, Pierce made his way into the after party with Isabella, 26, and his son Dylan, 28. The James Bond star, who plays Ron in the upcoming flick, looked handsome as ever as he arrived at the star-studded event in a brown double-breasted suit. Isabella, who previously joined her grandfather at the MobLand premiere after party in March, opted for an elegant purple satin gown. Dylan opted to match his dad with a sharp camel suit as they joined fellow star Helen Mirren, who had changed into a chic floral shirt dress, at the party. Pierce has kept a strong family bond with Isabella after her mother, Charlotte - who is his adopted daughter - died from cancer in 2013. Pierce adopted both Charlotte and her younger brother Christopher, 52, after their father, Dermot Harris died in 1986. Charlotte's mother later died of ovarian cancer in 1991, which left the siblings without their biological parents. She then welcomed two children of her own, Isabella and Lucas, with her partner Alex Smith. But Charlotte died just weeks after marrying Alex in 2013 from the same cancer her mother had. Before Cassandra's death, she and Pierce welcomed their biological son, Sean, 41, in 1983. Pierce, who has five children in total, is also a father to Dylan, 28, and Paris, 24, who he welcomed with his current wife Keely Shaye Smith, 61. The Thursday Murder Club centers on a witty group of retirees who spend their days in a peaceful retirement community—bonding over their shared hobby of solving cold cases. But their quiet pastime takes a thrilling turn when they stumble upon a fresh murder mystery that demands their attention. Helen leads the cast as Elizabeth, a sharp ex-spy with a knack for uncovering secrets. Pierce plays Ron, a former union activist with a passionate spirit, while Ben Kingsley portrays Ibrahim, an insightful ex-psychiatrist. Celia Imrie rounds out the group as Joyce, a compassionate ex-nurse who balances the team. Osman wrote the book in secret over 18 months, sparking a fierce 10-way bidding war before Penguin Random House secured the rights for a seven-figure deal in 2019. Upon its 2020 release, The Thursday Murder Club became the only novel that year to sell over one million copies, ranking as the third best-selling hardback behind Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol and JK Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The success led to three sequels: The Man Who Died Twice (2021), The Bullet That Missed (2022), and The Last Devil to Die (2023). A fifth installment is already planned for publication next year.

Car pool chaos as rock 'n' Rolls-Royce recreates The Who's swimming stunt
Readers with any mechanical sympathies may want to look away now, after a £500,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom ended up in the Tinside Lido swimming pool in Plymouth. However, this wasn't the climax of a drunken billionaire's wild night out. In fact, it was actually Rolls-Royce itself which deposited the six-metre long Phantom Extended – a retired prototype destined for recycling – in the pool. The stunt is part of the British marque's ongoing celebrations for the Phantom's 100th birthday, and a tribute to the car's role in music history over the past century – specifically, the debauchery and excess of rock 'n' roll. Advertisement - Article continues below The company was inspired by the antics of Keith Moon, the immensely talented and famously destructive drummer for sixties Mod legends The Who. The story goes that during his 21st birthday party, 'Moon the Loon', as he was known, drove a Rolls-Royce into the swimming pool of The Holiday Inn in Flint, Michigan. Accounts of the night vary wildly, and it's possible no car went for a swim, but nevertheless the story has become the stuff of legend. Moon died in 1978, but 23 August 2025 would have been his 79th birthday, so now at least one Rolls-Royce has definitely ended up wet because of him. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below If you fancy driving your very own Rolls-Royce into a swimming pool, then check out the Auto Express Find a Car service where you can find loads of great deals on used Rolls-Royce models . Rolls-Royce used the Tinside Lido not because it was the only place that would shut down its pool on a hot summer day, but because it was apparently part of the backdrop in a photograph of The Beatles taken in September 1967, when the Fab Four visited while filming for The Magical Mystery Tour. John Lennon was, of course, one of the Phantom's most famous owners, and in 1972 he unveiled his psychedelic yellow Phantom V. Countless other music legends have played a role in the car's history, including Duke Ellington, Fred Astaire, Count Basie, Elvis Presley, Sir Elton John and Snoop Dogg. Today, Rolls-Royce is mentioned in rap and hip hop songs more than any other car brand. 'From the Golden Age of Hollywood to the rise of hip-hop, over the last 100 years, music artists have used Phantom to project their identity and challenge convention,' said Chris Brownridge, CEO of Rolls-Royce. 'Their motor cars often became icons in their own right, with a lasting place in the history of modern music. 'This enduring connection reminds us that Rolls-Royce and the extraordinary people who are part of the marque's story are united by one ambition: to make their presence felt.'

Despite the common errors, Dunst expressed indifference to her name being mispronounced, stating she has 'given up' and 'doesn't care'. She recalled past experiences of pressure to change her appearance, including a Spider-Man producer attempting to straighten her teeth and studio disapproval of her 'goth' look at a film premiere. Dunst confirmed several upcoming projects, including a mermaid fantasy film and another collaboration with director Sofia Coppola. Her next film, Roofman, is scheduled for release in the UK on October 3. Kirsten Dunst reveals correct pronunciation of her name after 'everyone' gets it wrong
