Joe Tate received some very bad news when he woke up from his kidney transplantCrowley warned him that the police were onto him
He had arranged for Caleb to be attacked and knocked out, but the thug he hired stabbed him instead.
It left Crowley battling to both save his life and remove his kidney for transplanting into Joe.
But as Caleb flatlined, Joe began to panic and was swiftly sent out to prepare to receive the stolen kidney.
As he lay in the operating theatre ready to be knocked out, he begged the surgeon to give him an update on Caleb, but he refused.
Meanwhile Crowley had Caleb transferred to a hospital, telling them he found him injured and rushed him to his private clinic.
He convinced the staff that Caleb’s stabbing caused damage to his kidney and he had to whip it out to save his life.
An awkward run-in with Ruby left Crowley squirming as the police arrived to launch their investigation.
And things took a worse turn when the detective dropped a bombshell.
“Your donor’s doing very well,”; Crowley told Joe before telling him to prepare himself for some unfortunate news.
“The problem is that our associate has made a poor endeavour to expedite his egress. Knifey Sean has been arrested.”;
As Crowley began to spiral about going to prison, Joe told him it was much worse than that.
