Tanya, Jack and the kids arrive at the hospital to see Max in intensive care. Meanwhile, Dot is beside herself with worry, as Bradley is missing. Little does she know that he's sitting in the café adding Scotch to his drink. The police turn up at Denise's for a statement from Darren. At the nick, Libby's angry at her mum for warning off Darren - Lucas told her. Darren and Libby leave together and he advises Libby to go to Oxford. Abi thinks it's her fault that Max got run over. Tanya tries to reassure her, but Lauren jumps in and says, "Yes it is". Abi runs in to see her dad, but she's shocked to see him wired up to a life support machine. Nurses usher her out. Bianca's upset and confides in Pat that Tony's hardly touched her since his prison release. Pat brings her a case of saucy items to spice things up. However, its too much information when she learns of Pat's fling with Patrick. Bradley returns to Dot's worse for wear. She tells him about Max, but broken Bradley doesn't care. Dot tries to persuade him to go to the hospital - it could be his last chance and he'll always regret it. Lucas is greeted with a slap when he arrives at Denise's. She lays the blame for Libby leaving - all he's done is interfere. Mid-rant, Lucas kisses her. She reciprocates, but pulls away and throws him out. The doctor informs Tanya, Jack and the girls of Max's injuries. The concern is his head injury, as they don't know if he has brain damage until he wakes up. Bradley arrives at the hospital, but sees the others and walks back out. DI Turner arrives to speak to Tanya and Jack. They're asked to step aside as they're told a detailed report has come back from the scene. The inspector reveals that it's attempted murder. Jack and Tanya look at each other. |
