Lauren speaks out about Max

Abi and Lauren are concerned about Max, but Tanya tries to allay their fears. Later, Dot tells Tanya that the police have called Bradley to arrange a second interview, while Bradley's determined to keep busy. Tanya's worried that the police are still interviewing people and is shocked to learn that the police have found Jack's fingerprints on the steering wheel of Darren's car. Jack protests his innocence to her and reminds her of the day he gave Darren a driving lesson. The police, however, want to speak to Tanya before seeing Jack.

Tanya decides to visit Max in the hospital. When she gets there, she's curious as to why Jack's turned up too. As they talk about how much they despise Max, Dot overhears their conversation. Tanya's extremely apologetic to Dot about her outburst and suggests that the whole family get together for lunch. Dot, thinking it's a lovely idea, calls Bradley. At home, Abi's upset that she can't see her dad, while Lauren questions Tanya about the investigation. Feeling the pressure, Tanya confesses the earlier events of the day and reassures the girls that Jack will be fine.

Over dinner, Bradley changes the subject when Jack begins to ask him about his interview with the police. After an outburst over dinner, Lauren locks herself in her room, while Tanya attempts to talk to her about everything. When she's finally inside, Lauren tells her mum that she feels guilty for the whole situation, since she was the one who copied the DVD last Christmas. Tanya comforts her - it would have been exposed at some point, whether she'd copied the DVD or not. They're interrupted by the doorbell - it's D.S. Keeble wanting to speak with Tanya. Keeble begins talking to Tanya about the 'inconsistent' marks on Max's body. As Tanya denies any knowledge of a violent attack, Lauren marches into the room and is insistent that she speak with Tanya.

In the kitchen, Lauren reveals that she knows what happened to Max, leaving Tanya in a state of shock.
