Sean's wound up over Archie's interfering. He tells his father-in-law that he'll never get to know him. This puts a bee in Archie's bonnet - he invites the Slaters over behind Sean's back. Charlie and Jean arrive and the wine flows. Heather and Shirley's night at the dogs is ruined when Ben turns up. He confesses his worries over moving to Suzy's. Shirley promises him that her door's always open. Meanwhile, Stacey tells Danielle about Callum's scars. Tanya discovers Jack in the waiting room to see Max and questions why he's there. An argument erupts and Dot walks in to hear that they both hate Max. Tanya's apologetic and offers to cook for all of the family. Wine-infused Jean reveals to Archie how Sean changed when Brian died. Charlie's anxious to leave. Later, Sean and Roxy return from a day flat hunting. Sean learns from Peggy that Jean was there. He snaps at Archie. At Number 5 the Brannings are about to eat dinner when Dot says a prayer for Max. This prompts Abi to follow suit. Tanya asks Lauren if she'd like to say a few words, but Lauren snaps that they all hate Max. She storms out. Roxy apologises to Sean for sulking earlier, but he dismisses it and tells her it's Archie's fault. Archie walks in and asks his son-in-law how he plans on taking care of his daughter and grandchild. He retorts - "I'll get a job." DI Keeble arrives to interview Tanya about marks found on Max's body. The others leave, but Lauren demands to speak to her mum. Tanya marches her to the kitchen.
