In a very unexpected twist earlier this week, viewers learned that Jenson is actually an undercover cop, which explains why he’s been playing his cards close to his chest this whole time! His handler Alison, who he met with in secret, berated him for ‘operating off book’ and made it clear that she was bringing him in, putting a stop to whatever he was investigating. Jenson urged her to give him more time, revealing that he’ll be able to get her not only the Warren Fox but also Gemma, who has taken over Froggy Black’s (John Middleton) operation following his demise. Alison was unsure – but Jenson wasn’t planning on giving up. Next week, unsuspecting Gemma gifts Donny (Louis Emerick) and Misbah Maalik (Harvey Virdi) a painting to celebrate her dad making a big arrest in the gang he’s been investigating.
