Plot[]
Part One: Max hears the good news about Ellie giving a statement and insists on taking Lauren for a celebration breakfast at the cafe. Dee-Dee has received all of the files that Walcotts have on Joel. Tyrone and the girls have a video call with Dorin but Alina ends it abruptly and claims by text that too many calls upset the boy. Betsy admits to Sabrina that she’s done something really bad. Bethany goes on a shopping trip for a swimsuit for her Turkish trip. As Max and Lauren enjoy a breakfast, she receives a call from the hospital telling her to return as quickly as possible. Summer urges Billy to reach a compromise with Bernie over Paul’s funeral. George sees that Todd is having trouble with his own grief over Paul. Eileen has been in touch to say she's returning earlier than expected from Thailand. Dr Ralston explains to a terrified Lauren that Frankie has suffered a seizure and they’ve taken him for a cranial ultrasound.
Part Two: Max and Lauren wait for the results. Having been told that this can often happen to pre-term babies, Lauren blames Joel for inducing an early birth. Lisa has an idea when she spots a dashcam in the parked bistro van outside the shop flat. Bethany complains that she’s tried on various swimsuits, but they made her look fat. Ryan wants to take Daisy out for the afternoon but is disappointed to find out that she’s looking after Bertie while Daniel takes Bethany to the airport. Cassie suggests that Fiz contacts Alina and butters her up, woman-to-woman. Bernie joins Billy at the undertakers to discuss arrangements. She immediately insists that Paul wasn't Christian, but Billy disagrees. She produces a set of alternative ideas. Lisa obtains the dashcam footage to trace the company who sent the package to Joel containing the abortion inducing drugs. Fiz calls Alina on her own, slamming her laptop shut when Tyrone walks in. She explains what's she's trying to do and asserts that she’d never have returned Alina’s passport if she’d known this would happen. They’re horrified to realise the call is still connected and Alina has heard every word. She says Tyrone will never see Dorin again. Lisa traces the package back to a private clinic and thinks she has enough to charge Joel.
Part Three: Lisa orders Joel to be brought in for voluntary questioning. Frankie has a bleed on the brain. Tyrone can't get Alina to answer his calls and blames Fiz. Hope is furious that they've messed things up again and storms out. Lisa tells Joel she has new evidence and informs him how ill Frankie is, saying he might end up facing a murder charge. Joel keeps his cool and leaves, saying the evidence against him is too flimsy. Sabrina urges Betsy to come clean with her mum. Billy and Bernie now bicker over whether to have hymns or pop music. Billy walks out in anger. A stressed Bethany insists that her make-up isn't fine, and she needs to do it properly before she leaves for the airport. Hope is missing for a dentist's appointment. Joel turns up at the hospital, saying that Frankie is ill because Lauren tried to kill him.
Part Four: The nurse orders Joel to leave as a row breaks out. Fiz gives Tyrone a run-down of all the errors he's made with Alina and tells him to stop blaming her. They find Hope at the precinct hanging out with Jack and some lads. Max finds Lisa having dinner with Betsy at the bistro and tells her what Joel has done now. Betsy is shocked to hear about Frankie's condition. Ryan isn't pleased to find Daniel and Daisy enjoying playing a game with Bertie, and that Daniel has bought her flowers as thank-you for babysitting. Billy is appalled to find out that Bernie wants a foam machine at the funeral. A shaken Betsy tells Sabrina that she was involved in getting the pills that Joel gave Lauren. Frankie stabilises. Lauren is surprised to see Betsy looking over her son at the hospital. She asks who she is and what she wants. Betsy tells her that Max said he was sick, says she is so sorry and runs off without any further explanation.
