Plot[]

Part One: The police call back at No.8 and advise Sarah that Nathan is in breach of his bail and they are trying to find him. David asks Gail if she knew that Shona had a child but she denies it. Sinead has agreed to talk to Daniel and he tells her that he doesn't blame her for reporting him to the police. He assures her that he momentarily lashed out with no pre-planned intent and that he doesn't know how he'll cope if she rejects him. She's taken aback when Daniel informs her of Ken's story to the police but that the family are being told that afternoon. She fears that they'll tear him apart. Gina accidentally damages some stock when packing it. Bethany updates Nathan with events. Looking at her engagement ring, he says they should talk. Gina spends lunchtime making up replacement stock. Johnny spots her. Ken turns up at No.1 with Adam for the family meeting. Peter goes for him. To stop the fight, Daniel confesses to them. An upset Bethany turns up at home in tears, saying that Nathan has finished with her. Robert hears that Nick has left and comforts an upset Leanne with a hug. They are caught by Michelle and Maria. An enraged Tracy screams abuse at Daniel while Peter tries to attack him. Accusations fly and Ken yells at them that none of them are blameless in their behaviour, pleading for peace and forgiveness in his life, even for Daniel.

Part Two: Michelle hears from Robert about Nick and thinks that Leanne's got what she deserved for playing away from home. Maria listens uncomfortably. Gina tells a questioning Johnny what she was doing. He's impressed with her seamstress work and promotes her. Denise asks Audrey for a job but she refuses, knowing that she walked out on her son. Neil turns up at No.8 in uniform, on the pretext of making a courtesy call. He asks for a chat with Bethany in confidence in the garden, telling Sarah she might respond better that way. Peter, Tracy and Adam call at the flat, telling Daniel to pack his stuff and leave. They depart and Adam moves in with Peter. Daniel breaks down in tears and Denise hugs him. As a smiling Sarah watches from the kitchen window, Bethany tells Neil that the family bought her story hook, line and sinker. He tells her to have her passport ready as Nathan is going to take her abroad.
