When Dan threatens to hurt Billy, the latter reluctantly exposes Phil's one-night stand with Mel and this causes Dan to realize that Mel is the link between Steve and Phil's rivalry. Dan later kidnaps Mel and proceeds to hold her ransom in an abandoned flat. When Steve learns about this from Dan in a taunting phone call, he alerts Phil and the two form an uneasy alliance to save Mel from their enemy. Soon enough, Dan contacts Steve and demands that both he and Phil deliver £100,000 each to him in exchange for Mel's safety – up to the point where he even threatens her life in a bid to get his two rivals to compel to his demand. After the pair manage to obtain the £200,000, Steve and Phil argue about who will be exchanging the money for Mel and whether Dan needs to be taken down – with Steve just wanting Mel to come home safe while Phil is determined to finish things with Dan to stop him from making lives harder for them as well as Jamie and Peggy themselves. Just as Steve goes to deliver the money, however, Dan calls Phil and orders him – not Steve – to make the exchange for Mel. In compliance, Phil takes the money and goes to the flat where Dan is holding Mel captive to make the exchange on his own. There, he momentarily disarms Dan and prepares to kill him; however, he fails when Dan ends up overpowering Phil after Mel causes a distraction. Dan then flees

Later that evening, Steve approaches Phil to seek help with providing him by reinstating his share of The Queen Vic; Phil refuses and Steve promises that he will pay for crossing him before leaving the pub. At the same time, Mel goes to see Billy at the E20 to know more about Steve's affair with Karen. He unsuccessfully tries to vouch for Steve's innocence and ends up giving Mel an unintended contraction about her ownership of the E20. When she promptly questions Billy about this, Mel discovers from her husband's safe that Steve had actually settled earlier paperwork where he owns the entire nightclub – thus meaning that Steve had lied to his wife once again. Outraged by the extent of Steve's deception, Mel retaliates against her husband by burning down his club and then chucking her wedding ring at Steve; she then departs Walford to clear her mind over Steve's deceit and lies.
