|
Billy begs Dawn not to go the police about Jay. They send out a search party and eventually he shows up. Billy's relieved that he's safe, but Dawn vents her fury at Jay's dangerous behaviour. Zainab feels like she's lost the post office, her daughter and people's respect. Masood urges her to stand up and be strong. As they bicker, Shabnam packs her bags and slips out. Max has a plan after speaking to his solicitor about parental rights. He pretends to be Jack and cancels the tickets his brother's booked to France. Bradley thinks he's pathetic and is about to ruin even more people's lives. Dawn and Jay try to reconcile their differences. As Dawn talks about Jase, Jay realises that she loved his dad deeply and misses him as much as he does. Billy's happy that Jay doesn't want to leave. Shabnam can't leave without saying goodbye to her parents. Masood hopes that she'll only stay in Pakistan for a few weeks, but Shabnam's expression suggests that she'll be gone much longer than that. Garry decides to try a more romantic approach to win Dawn's heart. When he overhears part of her chat with Jay, however, he realises that he'll never be more than just a friend to her. Max has been drinking all day and bursts in to the Brannings' after tearing down the 'Sold' sign outside the house. He insists that they're not going to France. Tanya can keep the house and the children will live with him. Max directs his rage at Lauren when she takes her mum's side. Abi shakes as her dad rants at his family. Jack arrives and turfs him out. As Max searches for more booze at Suzy's flat, he finds the gun that she hid. |
