They warn he needs to hand over the money - or they're going to the police. How will Stephen take their proposal?
Elsewhere, Tim is left horrified when Elaine tells him and Sally that she will be moving into their apartment very soon. He is horrified to find out his mum wants to marry Stephen and make a life together.
Has Tim made a big mistake with Stephen?Angry, Tim tells Stephen he'd rather die then let his mum marry him - but is that the right thing to say to a killer, or has Tim just sealed his own fate and will he become the fourth victim of serial killer Stephen?
Speaking about the recent storyline, he told The Mirror: "And after that I think there could be more. He has a taste for it now and I think he figures that if he gets caught for three, he might as well get caught for four or five. It would be great to go down in the record books as the show’s biggest serial killer. What a thing to be known for.
"I'm forever being asked by the cast, 'Now how long are you here for?' Then they’ll come back a month later and go, 'Tell me again, how long do you think you’re going to stay?' They just want to know when they’ll be clear of me and when their future is safe! There have been rumours about Stephen killing very senior characters and they’re all cagey with me."
