Lucas and Denise share a kiss

Tanya, Jack and the kids rush to the hospital to see Max in intensive care. They realise that someone should call Bradley and let him know what's happened, but before they do, Jack asks if Abi has said anything. Both Jack and Tanya look extremely worried. Back on the Square, Dot's beside herself as Bradley hasn't returned home and still doesn't know about Max's situation. Tanya asks Abi if she saw anything before Max's accident. All Abi reveals is that she heard a bang after Max walked outside. Abi's adamant that it's her fault and while Tanya reassures her that it's not, Lauren jumps in and insists that it is.

Jack asks the nurse about his brother's condition and the nurse suggests all of his family be there for him. A shaken Jack makes a call to Bradley. Jack leaves a message for DI Turner. Afterwards, Lauren asks Jack if he'd rather Max wasn't around. Jack, however, covers his emotions and states that Max is still his brother. At Dot's, Bradley returns home and she's quick to inform him of Max's accident, but Bradley doesn't react. Dot presumes that he's struggling to come to terms with what he's heard, but is shocked when he refuses to visit Max in the hospital.

Jack and Tanya are in the hospital talking about the accident and Jack suggests that Max may have thrown himself in front of the car on purpose – at the end of the day, it's prevented them from leaving for France. Dot, meanwhile, is trying to persuade Bradley to visit his dad at the hospital, telling him that he'll regret it for the rest of his life if the worst were to happen. The doctors update Jack, Tanya and the girls on Max's situation. He has a broken leg and bruising to his spleen, along with some superficial wounds, but they're more worried about his head injuries. It's too early to say if he'll have any brain damage. As they head into the intensive care room to see Max, Bradley sees them from the end of the corridor but can't handle it and walks off.

DI Turner arrives at the hospital and asks Jack and Tanya to step outside. When Jack asks if they have any information as to what happened, DI Turner reveals that they believe they're looking at attempted murder. Both Tanya and Jack turn to each other with the same question on their lips – did you try to kill Max?

Elsewhere, Darren is questioned about his car being in the hit and run; Libby and Denise tell the police that Darren has been with them all night; Pat offers to give Bianca a makeover; Bianca confides in Pat that Tony's not touched her since he came out of prison; Denise slaps Lucas, before the pair share a passionate kiss; and Darren tells Libby that he wants her to go to university.
