What happens with Madame Blanc in episode 4 of series 4?

Programme information from Channel 5 reveals: Jean is contacted by a Maltese couple, Margot and Bobby, who believe they possess the original blueprints of Valletta, the capital city of Malta, designed by Jean de Valette himself.

They invite Jean to authenticate the plans, leading her and Dom to pack their bags for an exciting, all-expenses-paid trip to Malta – their first holiday together.

Margot and Bobby are due to meet the famous Mrs White at the airport as Margot is convinced she has the genuine blueprints.

However, as Jean and Dom land at the Malta airport, things take a sudden turn. While waiting outside, they witness two figures fleeing Margot and Bobby's car.

To their horror, Margot has been struck, and blood pours from the back of her head. Dom rushes to get help but is nearly hit by a speeding red car.

Meanwhile, Trevor (Paul 'Chuckle' Elliott) has borrowed Dom’s car Madeline and is driving to Gloria’s garage. As he approaches a set of traffic lights, he hears a thud from the back of the car. A young woman tumbles over the bonnet, causing Trevor to panic.

At the garage, Trevor confesses his fear of being sued since he lacks car insurance, leaving Gloria unimpressed.

Later, Trevor recounts the incident to Patrick, and Jeremy admits that he recently paid €5000 to avoid a similar legal situation. Patrick suspects they might be victims of a crash-for-cash scam, prompting Gloria to seek
advice from Caron.

As Jean and Dom inspect the Jean de Valette statue, they meet with Inspector Agius at Margot and Bobby's antique shop. Bobby suggests Jean contact Colin, another dealer interested in the blueprints.

Will Jean uncover the mystery behind Margot’s attack, and are these blueprints truly authentic?
