once everybody had left effy's room,it was only her,liam and gina as liam was helping put everything back that she threw and gina wanted her to help tracy "so why have i got to help tracy"effy asked "because if you do it all the other will follow you,listen mike has known tracy for a long,long time and i don't think he wants her leaving here with any bad feeling and neither do i so please think about it"gina said before leaving "you can help if you want just leave me out"effy said looking at liam then to the floor "why are you so angry"liam asked sitting down next to her "i thought i finally met a care worker who got me who was on my side should've known better"effy replied.
