Plot[]
Part One: Sarah is horrified by Anna's breakdown. Tim steps in and comforts the grieving mother. Bethany tells Jude he has to talk to Mary. Jude cannot see any other explanation for his son's fits and insults Mary, saying he resents her for never fighting for him and giving him up so easily. The Showcase meeting goes badly. Aidan and Alya blame each other and Aidan tells her it's a bad idea the two of them being in business together. Tracy calmly conducts her business as Angie screams to be let out from the back room. Norris, dressed as Batman, conducts a "Grandfathers 4 Justice" protest, much to Rita's derision. Luke asks Alya if he's being an idiot for suspecting that Andy is missing and resolves to contact Matt Luscombe again. Roy's Pelznickel costume bombs with the mothers and children. Bethany tries to convince Jude that Mary had no choice but to let him go after her rape. She takes George out to leave Mary and Jude alone to talk. Matt tells Luke that Andy has been in touch to tell him that he has gone backpacking around Belize and won't be returning. Norris takes his protest to the Underworld balcony but no one is interested. Questioned by Shona, David tells her that Gary got Nicola pregnant but he's not going to tell Sarah. Kirk inadvertently lets Angie out. She leaves, threatening Tracy with the police.
Part Two: Running round the corner, Angie's staggered to sees Norris's protest. Zeedan is suspicious when Robert tries to cover in front of Michelle about the bistro's card being declined. Luke tells Phelan about Matt's news concerning Andy. Showcase give Aidan and Alya the commission and they make up. Alya is concerned about a bad vibe she gets from the brothers who own the company. Brian saves the day when he appears in the cafe as Santa. Mary tells Jude about the terrible life she's suffered since she gave him up. They leave No.7 and see the protest. Bethany has returned with George who begins having another fit. Jude realises Mary has been nowhere near the child. Having conned Matt into thinking that Luke means Andy harm for the way he treated his sister, Phelan assures him that Luke won't be coming for his friend now. A hysterical Anna wrecks her cell and is taken to see the doctor. As George is put into an ambulance, Jude assures Angie that Mary is not to blame this time.
