2556: Jacqui continues to be awkward with Russ
Jacqui's stunned to read a letter from Russ' solicitor. She vows to keep hold of Max and decides she has to go and find Russ at school. Carmel pleads with her not to but Jacqui is terrified of losing Max. Jacqui relents and, grateful for her sister's advice, is convinced that maybe it would be best if she spoke to Russ calmly, to show him she can be a good mum.

When he arrives at the McQueens', Russ is surprised to find Jacqui uncharacteristically reasonable. He tells her that he wants a DNA test done and, through gritted teeth, Jacqui agrees. As soon as Russ leaves, Jacqui begins to panic again.

At last, Russ thinks things are back on track and is celebrating Jacqui's newfound rationale with Nancy, when a furious Jacqui arrives. Jacqui tells Russ that he'll never get the DNA test and that she's taking a court injunction out against him so he'll never get to see Max again.

Hannah is walking on air after she and Justin finally got it together at the McFly gig. When she finally catches up with him, things are initially quite awkward between the new young couple, but they soon remember just why they fell for each other in the first place. However, bad news seems to follow them around and while enjoying a romantic smoothie at MOBS, they overhear Steph asking Darren about Sean's death and Warren's involvement. Making himself scarce, Justin dashes off.

Hannah chases after him but Justin is clearly rattled and heads off to work, alone. Ash goes to the Dog to see if Hannah's there but only finds Josh. Never one to miss an opportunity, Ash sows seeds of doubt in Josh's mind about Justin and his shady past…

Cindy forces Darren to go underwear shopping with her after he ruined her clothes by dunking her in the portaloo. Stumping up £20 for a pair of lacy knickers makes Darren realise that he really needs a job, especially if he has to keep up with Cindy's expensive tastes.

With this in mind - and to Cindy's abject horror - Darren asks Steph for a job at MOBS. Not wanting to come between them, Steph sidesteps the issue and starts grilling Darren about Warren's involvement in Sean's death, making Darren very uneasy indeed.

Warren continues to hide out in The Loft, unwilling to show his face after the accusations made against him. Sasha tells him he has nothing to be ashamed of, certain that it is all just lies. As Sasha goes to leave, Warren is left totally stunned when she tells him that she loves him. Sasha sneaks back into the Valentines' but runs into Leo and Calvin who grill her on her whereabouts. Before long, Sasha decides she's had enough and announces that she's packing her bags and moving in with Warren.

Calvin panics and reveals to Sasha that his hate for Warren is borne out of the fact that Warren lied to him about Nige. Sasha refuses to believe a word Calvin says and demands that he leave her alone. Realising that having Sasha in his home would be like a knife in Calvin's side, Warren puts aside his own doubts about having a live-in girlfriend to welcome Sasha into his flat.
