With Max's court case looming the pressure is becoming too much for Ian, but will he do the right thing, or give into Carl's demands? Kirsty resorts to extreme measures.

Ian is visited by the police who remind him about giving evidence at Max鈥檚 trial next week. Ian鈥檚 jittery, to Lucy and Peter鈥檚 concern, but claims he鈥檒l be there. Peter tells Lucy that Denise has a right to know the truth, but she says no. Peter鈥檚 concerned to find Ian crouched in the kitchen in Scarlett鈥檚, his head in his hands. Later, Ian tells Carl the police visited him and he doesn鈥檛 think he can give evidence. Carl talks menacingly about hospital food, making it clear Ian is in trouble if he doesn鈥檛 lie. Peter finds Lauren in the playground in tears. She pleads that if there is anything Peter can do to help Max, he must do it. Peter considers ringing the police, then discovers Ian booking a cottage retreat for the family. Peter chastises Ian for considering running away. Ian tells Peter he either gives evidence or ends up in hospital. Peter takes money from the chip shop till and goes to see Carl at the B&B. Peter tries to placate Carl with 拢500, warning him that Ian will crumble under cross examination in court. Carl takes the money, and tells Peter he鈥檒l think about it. Later on the Square, David bumps into Carl, who drops his wallet. David notices Carl鈥檚 knuckles are bloody. On the market, David notes Peter鈥檚 stall is unattended, and is shocked to find Peter down an alley, bloodied and bruised.

Lauren鈥檚 horrified when loan sharks knock on the door and demand 拢1,000 by tomorrow morning. Kirsty confesses she borrowed from a loan shark to pay Max鈥檚 legal fees. Lauren admits she visited Max yesterday and he thinks he鈥檒l be found guilty. Kirsty鈥檚 upset Max didn鈥檛 request to see her. Kirsty asks for an advance on her stall wages, tries to win money on scratch cards and even contemplates stealing from the stall. Carl offers to buy her a drink, she refuses. Bianca returns and dismisses Kirsty from the stall. Kirsty asks for more shifts in the Vic and bats off Carl鈥檚 repeated advances. Lauren rings Jake for support after eyeing up alcohol in the Minute Mart. Abi thinks it鈥檚 best if Kirsty leaves, Kirsty goes to Carl. He鈥檚 busy bandaging his hand and pleased she鈥檚 had a change of heart. Kirsty declares Max can rot in prison and kisses Carl.

The Spraggan and Butcher kids continue to bicker. TJ and Rosie are sleeping in the living room. Carol asks David if he鈥檚 leaving soon, David reports Bianca鈥檚 asked him to stay. Bianca gives Terry some of the cash David gave her to have his taxi serviced. David thinks Terry鈥檚 only after money and wants Carol to tackle Bianca while he takes on Terry. Terry introduces himself to Sadie, who鈥檚 standoffish, and complains to Roxy about the grumpy mechanic servicing his taxi 鈥� Phil. David approaches Terry in the Vic. Terry gives a speech about not being a freeloader, insisting he loves Bianca, but David鈥檚 unconvinced. Bianca reassures Carol that Terry is 鈥楾he One鈥�. Carol seems placated and she tells David that if he鈥檚 staying they need to help make the family work. David agrees, but tries to stir up trouble by letting One Direction obsessed Rosie play with Tiffany鈥檚 stuff. David鈥檚 disappointed when Terry breaks up the fight, insists the kids need to learn to live with each other, then drags them to the war memorial to clean off graffiti.

Patrick鈥檚 outraged to discover the war memorial is covered in graffiti. He tries to get Sadie, Lauren and Abi to help but everyone鈥檚 too busy. He decides to clean if off himself and is grateful when Terry stops to help and later returns with the whole Butcher/Spraggan clan.
