Hollyoaks' tangled web of drama involving Warren Fox, Norma Crow, Grace Black, Ethan Williams and Sienna Blake just got even more knotty, as another twist aired on tonight's (February 8) first-look E4 episode.

Sienna, Ethan and Grace thought that they were onto something with the camera installed in Warren's place, although Ethan didn't necessarily believe Sienna when she said Warren lied about them sleeping together again.

As Grace monitored the live footage, she saw Norma talking to someone who isn't in the room before looking directly at the camera. To her horror, Warren appeared right behind her.

"It wasn't hard to find the camera," he told her, explaining that Sienna was getting "sloppy" and that he and Norma have figured out the trio are working together.

"I knew that rat Ethan had to be involved. But you? You're the last person I'd expect to find here. Of course. The little home video was a group project. Well, that's a surprise.

"I didn't think you'd be stupid enough to mess with me twice. What was the plan? Wait for me and mum to have a conversation about dodgy dealings over breakfast, and then give the footage to the Old Bill? That's the problem with you, Grace. You've always had me down as this mindless thug who likes to use his fists, but I am way smarter than you are."

Although Grace tried to boast that Norma wouldn't let him lay a finger on her, Warren stated that he'd be fine as long as he didn't go completely off the rails — and there were still things he could do to her.

Taking Grace to her family's gravestones, Warren issued Grace with an ultimatum: Sign The Loft over, or her son faces the consequences as revenge.

Worrying about what Warren could do, Norma turned up and asked them if they knew where Grace was — revealing that Warren did indeed lie about sleeping with Sienna, much to Ethan's relief.

Could these sworn enemies start working together if Warren really goes off the deep end, or will they back off and let Warren and Norma get their way?
