Plot[]
Becky's hung-over, upset and pining for Max. Steve feels guilty. Fiz spends the day with baby Hope at No.5. Kirk, Julie and Sean call in to make sure she's alright. They're unaware of John hiding upstairs. David tells Kylie and Gail how they're going to fight to get Max back. Kylie's doubtful, citing herself as a terrible mother but David's determined. Becky talks to social services and manages to glean that Max is back with his old foster family. She dashes off intent on snatching him back. Chesney and Katy inform Owen that they're keeping the baby. Owen's not happy but eventually accepts the situation when Chesney assures him that he'll never let Katy down. Becky tracks Max down to his foster parents' garden. She calls out to him and he's thrilled to see her. Steve arrives and tells her that she'll only make the situation worse but it's too late, the foster parents phone the police. The police call at No.5 and ask Fiz if the name "Joy Fishwick" means anything to her. She lies and denies all knowledge. Fiz goes upstairs to see to crying baby Hope. She's stunned to find John in Hope's bedroom holding the baby. The police give Becky an unofficial warning for attempting to snatch Max. The social worker lets slip how an anonymous caller shopped them to social services. John begs Fiz to run away with him. When she refuses, John legs it out of the house with baby Hope, witnessed by Sean, Julie and outside Chesney and Katy. Fiz gives chase but runs into the road without looking and is knocked down by Owen in his van. As her horrified friends gather round her and an ambulance is called, John takes the opportunity to leg it.
