Plot[]
Part One: Realising what Abi's up to, Imran takes possession of the passports and demands that she hand over Alfie. Her last chance taken away, Abi collapses in tears. Toyah exults to Leanne over the good fortune she's experiencing with two children to bring up now. Abi tells Imran that she did everything she was supposed to, and yet he was still able to take her son away. She fears she'll never be allowed to see him again and walks out of the flat, with words indicating she now has nothing to live for. Kevin comes into the flat a moment later and Imran realises he was in on the plan. Kevin accuses him of ruining Abi's life when she was already broken after Seb's death. Imran takes Alfie away, but both Kelly and Kevin's words are starting to get through to him. Imran returns home and tells Toyah what Abi was planning. She's livid that her trust was abused, but Imran tries to dissuade her from calling her the police. Kevin looks for Abi, asking Roy and Nina if they've seen her. Toyah can't understand why Imran's protecting a proven addict like Abi. Receiving a phone call, Imran tells Toyah to go to the bistro and be with Leanne while he goes out. His caller is a worried Kevin who tells him he can't find Abi anywhere. Imran promises not to call the police. Kevin tells him how Dean Turnbull blackmailed Abi and he took advantage of that. Feeling guilty at last, Imran promises to put things right and, as a measure of his trust, hands Kevin the false passports. The two team up to look for Abi and Imran rings her, telling her to come back so they can work everything out. Arriving at the bistro, Toyah tells Leanne, Nick and Adam what has transpired. Leanne can't work out why Imran was at Abi's flat, and Toyah admits she has suspicions about Imran herself. Saying there's something she needs to do, she leaves Alfie in Leanne's charge.
Part Two: Kevin searches for Abi at The Dog & Gun where he notes Matty's interest when he mentions her name. Matty threatens him but Kevin isn't to be put off. Imran rings Elliot Newell for a meeting, admitting he wasn't truthful in court. He then rings Toyah who admits she's on the way to the police station to report Abi. He sets off to follow her, coming clean on the way to Kelly about everything, and thanking her for reminding him that he had a conscience. He takes his car from outside Webster's Autocentre. Before setting off, he rings Toyah and leaves a message confessing to having done wrong things. Matty assures Kevin that he doesn't know Abi's whereabouts. Imran stops Toyah making a report at the station, saying they have to talk first. Abi turns up at No.13, relieving a frantic Kevin. Leanne worries where her sister has got to and calls her. The phone rings out in a car which has crashed into now-unsafe scaffolding, within which Toyah and Imran lie unconscious.
