Jenson Cole (Ryan Clayton) is on a mission to destroy both Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas) and Gemma Johnson (Tisha Merry) in Hollyoaks, and next week he intensifies his efforts to achieve his goal. In a surprising twist earlier this week, viewers learned that Jenson is actually an undercover cop, explaining his secretive behavior throughout his time on the show.
Jenson's undercover mission revealed
Jenson's handler Alison, whom he met in secret, berated him for operating off book and made it clear she was bringing him in, halting whatever investigation he was pursuing. Jenson urged her to give him more time, revealing that he could deliver not only Warren Fox but also Gemma, who has taken over Froggy Black's (John Middleton) operation following his demise. Alison remained unsure, but Jenson was not planning to give up.
Next week, unsuspecting Gemma gifts Donny (Louis Emerick) and Misbah Maalik (Harvey Virdi) a painting to celebrate her father making a big arrest in the gang he has been investigating. Donny is delighted, unaware that the leader of that gang is his own daughter. Gemma continues her pattern of cheering people up by later telling Warren that Sebastian Blake (Teddie Williamson) can come home.
Warren's staggering discovery
The happiness is short-lived as Warren makes a staggering discovery in subsequent scenes. Jenson informs him that Gemma is the one in charge of the gang that Warren has been after—the very same gang that holds the money he craves. Without wasting a second, Warren confronts Gemma. He is out for money while she is out for his affection. The question remains whether either party will get what they want.
Jenson, meanwhile, rings his contact in the police and asks to rejoin the force, promising to take down Warren and Gemma once and for all. It remains unclear whether his superiors will let him back in and whether he will succeed in his mission.
Upcoming episodes and where to watch
Hollyoaks streams Mondays to Wednesdays from 6am on Channel 4's streaming platform, or catch episodes on TV at 7pm on E4. The storyline continues to develop as Jenson pursues his undercover operation against Warren and Gemma.
