1. Linda vows to confront Janine

As Linda frets about Lee's drinking, she answers a call on his phone and is shocked by what she hears.

After confiding in mum Elaine, Sharon and Max about the unexpected call, Linda realises that she needs some proper answers - which will mean speaking to her old nemesis Janine!

2. Max makes a risky move

Linda refuses to believe what Janine tells her and turns back to Max for support.

The couple agree to face the situation together and go back to Janine for further answers, but the ever-impulsive Max soon makes a decision that he might regret.

3. Nancy goes into labour

After a difficult week, Linda braces herself for a difficult conversation as she tells Lee, Nancy and Johnny what she has discovered. She then worries as her three eldest kids rush off, clearly struggling to process everything.

Nancy catches up with her ex Zack, but their heart-to-heart is interrupted when her waters break. Meanwhile, Linda is concerned when she finds that Lee is drunk again.

4. Linda tries to reach a breakthrough

At the café, Lee lets his guard down as he tells Linda that he's worried about becoming a dad.

As Nancy is rushed to hospital, Johnny, Elaine and Zack try to track down Lee and Linda to tell them what's happening.

5. Ryder starts a new job

Ryder starts working for Ian at the chippy.

When Lauren and Mark see Ryder striking up an easy bond with Ian, they both feel guilty for their roles in his recent attack.

6. Lauren gets time alone with Mark

After a frustrating week where she's unable to get any proper alone time with her secret lover Mark, Lauren is relieved when Peter heads off for a weekend away with the kids.

Lauren manages to get Cindy and Oscar out of the way too, then invites Mark into her home. When passion turns into more serious emotion, though, Lauren feels overwhelmed.

7. Ash and Suki fall out again

A struggling Ash gets tipsy with Eve at the pub after news of her divorce comes through. Suki is irritated by their antics and reveals that Ria's biological mum, Harleen, wants to meet the family.

Ash is annoyed that Suki isn't more sympathetic about her divorce, so she refuses to come along.

8. Harleen gets a shock

After some persuasion from Eve, Ash relents and agrees to support the family after all by coming to meet Harleen at Knight Fusion.

Old habits die hard for the bickering family, so Ash and Suki end up clashing in the kitchen at the restaurant. Harleen witnesses the row and seems far from impressed.

9. Suki and Eve try to pick up the pieces

Suki and Eve are left devastated as the consequences of their meeting with Harleen hit home.

Ash encourages them to see the situation from both sides, while Sharon tells Suki that she should keep fighting for Ria.

10. Kat tries to get closure

Kat takes the next step in her grief journey as she decides that the time is right to clean out Zoe's room.

Her family rallies around to support her as she goes through her late daughter's belongings.
