Jay disappears

Along with the petrol can, Jay's found some old, dirty rags and soaks them liberally with petrol. He leaves the Arches and walks down the street with a plastic bag full of rags soaked in petrol. Arriving at Garry and Minty's house, he stuffs one of the rags through the letterbox, but Billy manages to catch him before he lights it. Billy grounds Jay, before Jay accuses him of doing what he always does, giving up on people. Just as Billy's about to lunge at him, he holds himself back and apologises.

Later, Phil chats to Jay about his attitude towards Billy, while Billy makes a call to Social Services asking someone to pick Jay up – he can't cope. Jay and Billy have a heart-to-heart about their situation and Jay promises not to play up again. The pair shake hands. However, Jay finds the suitcase with all his belongings in and he's crestfallen. As Billy calls Social Services to tell them that he's resolved their problems, Billy sees the suitcase open in the living room with some of Jay's belongings having disappeared – along with Jay.

Meanwhile, Max turns up at Jack and Tanya's, just as they're making the final preparations for their move, demanding to know what's going on and why there's a 'sold' sign outside the house. Tanya suggests that she was going to tell Max all along, but Max wants to know the full story – if she tells him, he'll tell her about Rainie. Tanya's shocked that he's found her and drags him to one side to speak in private. Max gives Tanya Rainie's address and tells her that her sister now has a job. Tanya, however, lies and promises Max that they'll not move the kids too far away and that their final destination will be in England.

Jack and Tanya head home and Tanya's furious that Ronnie knows about their plans to move to France. Meanwhile, Max puts in a call to the estate agent to enquire about the house and realises that Tanya lied when the agent confirms that the seller already has a property lined up. Later, Ronnie decides that it's time Max knew about Jack and Tanya's intentions.
