Whitney tells him that will never happen. He then opens a stall at the market to be close to Whitney and even goes on a date with Dotty imagining that she is Whitney. Whitney's hair starts falling out because of the stress. Kat offers to trade jobs with Whitney for a week so she can have a break from seeing Leo at the market. Leo jeopardises the Slaters' cleaning company as payback resulting in a fight with Leo in the market. Jack advises Whitney to start writing down everything Leo does as evidence which she does in a notebook. Leo is then arrested at The Queen Vic thanks to Jack and Whitney, Martin, Kush and Kat go to celebrate. While they are having fun Whitney steps out onto the balcony and sees Leo. She rushes to call the police but Leo arrives on the balcony and pushes her, causing her to drop her phone. Kush arrives and seeing Leo has got hold of Whitney, saves her and accidentally pushes Leo which causes him to fall off the balcony. Leo is fine and Kush gets arrested so Whitney feels guilty and decides to visit Leo at the hospital and pretend to want to get back together with him so that he will drop the charges against Kush, especially because her phone is broken which had all the evidence of the constant calls and texts from Leo. Leo agrees to not press charges but when she steps out of the hospital room he finds her evidence notebook in her bag which he takes. A few days later Whitney agrees to meet with Leo and he takes her to Tony's grave where he pushes her into the ground forcing her to apologise to Tony. After she does as he says, Leo says it is not good enough and takes her to The Queen Vic where he forces her to announce to everyone that she has been lying about Tony abusing her and that she has made it up as a teen for attention. Everyone stands up for Whitney, knowing she is just being forced to tell them that, and Leo leaves. Whitney thinks he is gone but unbeknownst to her he hides in the attic of Dot's house where Whitney is now living and is spying on her through a hole in the ceiling of her room. When she does not go to Kush's hearing Kat is upset with her and Kush visits Whitney where she apologizes to him for not being there for him, explaining she is still recovering from the graveyard ordeal. She also tells Kush about a letter she still has written to her from Tony which Leo overhears. Whitney goes to Kat's house to apologise for not being there to support Kush and they make up, but when they go back to Dot's house they discover the place has been ransacked as Leo was searching for Tony's letter.
