Bruno just had enough time to wipe down the gun and return it to the display cabinet when he is interrupted by the door bell. A distraught Lucy, in full wedding regalia returns home with Angelica and pleads with Bruno to forgive her. By this time, Conrad's shooting is all over the evening news; now livid, Bruno tells Lucy that she must provide him with an alibi. Finally putting two and two together, she agrees. The police however are looking no further than Giles. They're convinced he's the one responsible for the shooting. Bruno's two unknown twins then show up at his house and demand to stay. Bruno got along with Yasmin, but disliked Reece. After Angelica consumes drugs she steals from Reece, Bruno sends him onto the streets. Reece then calls his mum Joly Salter and tells her what Bruno has done. Joly arrives at the training ground and tells Bruno to buy the twins their own flat, using their marriage certificate as bribery. This revealed that he and Lucy were never truly married. Soon after, Bruno gives Joly a diamond ring. Seeing this, Lucy leaves Bruno and goes to Spain with Angelica. Bruno then leaves to get Lucy and Angelica back.
