Chas warns Nicola that Anthony is a danger to children, so Nicola rushes home and orders him to leave.
When Nicola reveals the reason for her sudden decision, Anthony turns physically threatening with her.
Nicola’s best friend Laurel Thomas – who had also hired Anthony as a tutor for her son Arthur – rushes in to intervene and knocks the villain unconscious with a candlestick.
