Frankie was at a loss for what to do after receiving some troubling news about JJ. The article came with a trigger warning, as it discussed child sexual abuse. It seems that Frankie's fears might be coming true, as she may be called upon to help JJ in Hollyoaks next week. For those who don't know, JJ is the one who sexually abused Frankie's twin sister for years. To make matters worse, he manipulated her into keeping quiet about it by convincing her that no one would believe her.
However, Frankie showed incredible bravery by confiding in her father, Darren. He never doubted her for a second and immediately disowned JJ for his despicable actions. Darren vowed to help his daughter get the justice she deserved. Just when it seemed like justice was within reach, Hollyoaks took a year-long time jump. Unfortunately, this meant that JJ fell ill and was rushed to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with leukemia.
Darren has been struggling to cope with this news. He's torn between being there for his daughter, Frankie, and trying to support JJ after his diagnosis. As the next week unfolds, Nancy updates Frankie on JJ's condition. She reveals that JJ is not responding well to treatment and that Darren could potentially be a match for a bone marrow transplant. Frankie is taken aback and rushes off to take an important call.
As she processes this new information, Vicky assures her that she doesn't have to do anything she's not comfortable with. But Frankie is still unsure of what to think. She visits JJ in the hospital, and a confrontation ensues. Frankie finally asks JJ the question that has been weighing on her mind: why did he abuse her? Meanwhile, Darren and Jack arrive at the hospital to find out if Darren is a match for JJ. To their surprise, they are told that JJ has vanished.
Back in the village, JJ is trying to hide out. He leaves a note for Frankie at Price Slice, but Mercedes spots him and tries to talk to him. Suddenly, he collapses, and Nancy has to call an ambulance. At the hospital, Darren receives more bad news - JJ has developed pneumonia. After taking some time to process this, he speaks to Frankie and assures her that he hasn't taken JJ's side. He also asks her to try and understand why he can't abandon JJ right now.
Frankie is left with a lot to think about. She goes to see JJ and outside the hospital, she asks him for the truth about why he abused her. In the midst of all this drama, Lucas offers his support to Frankie. She is grateful for his friendship and the two have a heart-to-heart. Will JJ finally admit to his actions, or will he continue to deny everything? And will Frankie ever get the justice she deserves?
Only time will tell, but in the following scenes, Frankie turns to alcohol for solace. This worries her friends, Lucas and Vicky, who are concerned for her well-being. Nancy steps in to take Frankie home, and Lucas follows. The two have a heart-to-heart as they try to process everything that has happened.
