While he eventually admitted to taking steroids, he refused to say who had given him the drugs, despite pressure from his dad.
Meanwhile, Denzel and his family were in high spirits following his big win in the boxing ring, but he soon heard from Avani that Nugget was in hospital, and his family found out about the steroids.
Ravi and Priya were told by the doctor that if Nugget’s kidneys didn’t show signs of improvement soon, they would have to make a plan for longer term dialysis.
