Plot
Liam is incredulous when he spots Carla getting out of Tony's car after spending another night together. However, when he comments on whether Tony's wife knows about their relationship, Carla asserts that Lindsey is Tony's ex-wife and it's no business of his anyway.

Meanwhile, Maria’s been worrying about telling Liam about the baby, convinced he’ll freak out and break up with her but, knowing she can’t keep it from him any longer, she arranges to meet him that night. Once she finally gets him alone and manages to divert his attention from Carla and Tony, Maria breaks the news that she's pregnant to a shell-shocked Liam. As he struggles to take in the news, Maria decides to give him some time to think it over.

Steve’s stunned when he receives a call from his dad, telling him he’s going to be released from prison tomorrow. Steve agrees to pick him up, but keeps the news to himself.
