David arranges a visit by the Roberta Kite, the social worker. Chesney counsels Fiz to be careful what she says to the police. Kylie confesses all to the social worker, saying Becky was obsessed with Max from the moment she saw him. DC Redfern interviews Fiz and Chesney at home. Fiz is sparing with the truth with him.

Their discussion is interrupted by the arrival of Roberta's colleague Miriam who remembers well Becky claiming that she was Kylie. Steve realises have no choice but to come clean. Fiz tells Redfern that the first she knew of any of John's wrongdoing was when she followed him to the Hoyles' house. Becky and Steve counters Kylie's accusations by telling the social workers of her blackmail attempt. Roberta explains to a totally distraught Becky that as they've broken the terms agreed by the court and Max has to be taken into care immediately. Steve tries to comfort his wife as she breaks down. Graeme is upset as Xin tells him she's moving to Edinburgh. Becky gathers herself to say goodbye to Max. Fiz can't find John's passport for Redfern. He advises Fiz to keep all windows and doors tightly locked whilst John is on the loose. Steve takes Max out to the waiting car. Kylie and David watch from across the street.

Notes[]
- As in 2010, the final week of ITV's talent show Britain's Got Talent was transmitted twice each night, surrounding an episode of Coronation Street which was in the 9.00pm slot. All episodes broadcast as part of this special week end with a short trailer to promote the following episode.
- Katy Armstrong (Georgia May Foote) is credited but does not appear.
- Steve McDonald mentions the time that Tracy Barlow had a Prohibited Steps Order served on him to deny him access to Amy, and enjoys the irony now that the roles have been reversed. This is a reference to Episode 6084 (1st August 2005) and Episode 6085 (3rd August 2005).
- TV Times synopsis: Becky fears the worst when Kylie reveals the truth about Max to social services; John goes into hiding as the police investigate his crimes; Xin urges Graeme to talk about his feelings for her; and Fiz locks up the house and prepares for a night alone with Hope, while her husband remains at large.
- Viewing Figures: First UK broadcast: 9,120,000 viewers (13th place).
