Abi catches Tanya packing. Tanya reveals they're leaving that night for Lauren to go into residential care near Exeter. Abi refuses to go. Max comforts Kirsty, assuming that she's miscarried. Kirsty admits she was never pregnant and lied because she was afraid Max would leave. Disgusted, Max storms to Tanya's house. Abi demands Tanya tell Max the truth, Tanya's reluctant. In private, Max tells Tanya Kirsty lied about the baby, insisting now he's no longer obliged to Kirsty he wants to be with Tanya. Tanya's stunned but doesn't mention they're leaving and fibs that she'll think about it. Abi blurts out that Tanya's going away and not coming back. Tanya informs Max they're leaving on the last train and she's selling Booty to fund professional care for Lauren. Max is hurt and won't let her take his family away. Tanya insists Lauren could end up dead like Billie or Bradley and their relationship is to blame, citing Max's affairs and her cancer. Max pleads they can change but Tanya won't let their relationship continue to hurt their children. Tanya declares they both need to break their addiction to each other, swearing she'll leave and won't look back. Kirsty arrives, drunk. Tanya's adamant she doesn't care what Kirsty's done, she doesn't want Max. Kirsty wails she loves Max but he throws her out. Lauren's woken by the noise. Max relents and tells Lauren that Tanya's taking her on a trip. When Lauren's suspicious, Max reveals the truth. Lauren's convinced to cooperate when Max admits they're terrified for her. The family bid their goodbyes. Tanya tells Max she loves him and will be always be his.
