As the story continues tonight, Jasmine grows frustrated with Kat as they discuss the search for Chrissie. Feeling as though Kat is about to throw her under the bus, Jasmine leaves the house, seeking solace with Oscar.
Back in the Slater household, Kat defends Jasmine and Zoe as Tommy and Jean cast aspersions over their version of events. Railing against Tommy, Kat demands that he start supporting Zoe and his family in the same way that they once did for him.

Jasmine is on the ropes when Kat arrives, and tells Cindy to back off. She then reveals, in front of everyone there, that Jasmine is her granddaughter.
