Sarah points out to Nick that Callum is Max's real dad. Liz tells Steve that she's thinking of going to Spain with Tony but she won't leave him in the lurch. Zeedan is taunted by a laughing Tony that he lets Leanne fights his battles for him. Anna and Faye have spent the night at No.4. Josie and Jackson arrive with Jackson's passport for ID to enable him to register as Miley's father. David makes Callum an offer of visiting rights which he refuses. Callum hints he has lots to reveal in court.
Part Two: As the hearing begins, David's lawyer paints him as the doting dad. Carla orders the canapés for Michelle's wedding from Nick. Leanne wonders if there is something going on between them. Erica turns up and sees Nick and Carla together. Sally arrives home and is unhappy to find Anna cleaning the kitchen from top to bottom. Nick assures Erica that he and Carla are just friends. Leanne hints to Carla that if she has feelings for Nick, she should declare them before it's too late. Callum's lawyer points out to the court that David has no biological links or legal rights to Max. Jackson and Faye bicker over Miley's name. Maddie sees Zeedan stalking Tony. He tells her that he's determined to teach him a lesson. Sally and Anna argue over the cleaning. Steve tells Liz not to put her plans on hold over him. Michelle tells Carla that she and Steve still have no sex life. Anna and Sally are studiously polite to each other over the dinner table. Callum's lawyer launches a character assassination, dragging up David's criminal past and saying he's a disturbed young man. David loses his cool and the judge insists he leaves the room. His lawyer drags him away protesting.
