Tracy dispatches Mary on an extra long lunch break before suggesting to Tommy that they close the shop and head into the office. He declines the invitation. Gary is summoned by Mrs Crawshaw when she can't get hold of Maria. He's shown Liam's laptop and his recent searches. Toyah persuades Leanne to scale up her wedding plans.

Pushed for an explanation, she admits she makes videos for Ovidz. Gary alerts Maria to Liam's suicidal thoughts. They race to the flat, fearing the worst.

He says he thought she deserved a better son than him as he just causes her grief. Leanne is taken with the idea of a foreign wedding. Tracy worries that Tommy will give the game away while out with Steve. Bobby spots a bruise on Lauren's shoulder when they're getting intimate. Maria tells Liam that she's going to get him help. She's incredulous when he still refuses to tell everything to Mrs Crawshaw.
Part Four: Lauren tells Bobby she got the bruise when she fell down the stairs. Liam confesses to Maria that Mason and Dylan are his bullies and lists everything they've done to him. He assures her he'd never have gone through with the suicide attempt and asks her not to tell anyone that he looked it up. Steve's furious when Tracy tells Tommy about his lousy football skills. Joel masks his disappointment when Dee-Dee insists on saving herself for marriage. Mrs Crawshaw calls at the flat to reveal that Liam's allegations against Mason and Dylan will be investigated, but anything that happened outside school is a police matter. Gary and Maria are livid that they aren't being expelled. Bobby's concerned that Lauren's ex has been hurting her. He compares notes with Max and Sabrina and learns about Lauren being on Ovidz.
