Ryan searches for the knife
With the rest of the house asleep, Whitney finds Debra's bag containing the knife under the stairs and takes a peek inside. At that moment, there's a knock at the door but Bianca's furious that the deliveryman had the wrong house. Finding Debra waiting by the window in the living room, Bianca asks her to leave. Concerned for her own safety, Debra tells Whitney that if she goes outside and Ryan finds her, she's as good as dead. Whitney subsequently agrees to talk Bianca into letting her stay. Later, as Debra surveys the scene outside, Bianca accuses her of being a bad mother. Not wanting to argue, Debra's about to leave just as Ryan walks through the door.

Bianca's confused and asks Debra and Ryan to get out of the house, but Whitney reveals that Ryan is her half-brother. Ryan begins searching through the house for his knife, while Debra pleads ignorance as to its whereabouts. On hearing the mayhem in the kitchen, Bianca storms in and attempts to drag Debra out of the house, but Whitney convinces her that she'll sort it. Later in the café, Whitney reveals to Ryan and Debra that she's hidden the knife and won't hand it over until they sort their problems. As mother and son continue to argue, Whitney runs out. They try to convince her that they both care, but talk soon returns to the knife.

Back at the house, Bianca asks for a quiet word with Debra and Ryan and quickly accuses Debra of being a bad mother. Ryan, meanwhile, is clear - once he has what he came for, he'll leave. Whitney hears their discussion from behind the door, before locating the knife and running out with it. Bianca, Debra and Ryan try to look for Whitney, but there's no sign of her. As Debra does another runner from the Square, Whitney turns up at the canal and fills the bag containing the knife with stones and drops it into the water below…

Meanwhile, Jean confesses to Charlie and Big Mo that Stacey's showing clear signs of bipolar disorder, insisting that it's like "looking into a mirror". Later, with loud music playing, Jean finds Stacey frantically dancing. Jean eventually calms her down, while Stacey resolves to start selling flowers. After a ruckus on the flower stall, Jean drags Stacey back to the house where they argue about her condition. Stacey maintains that there's nothing wrong with her and with that, Jean starts pouring her own medication down the sink. Stacey orders her mum to stop, while Jean asks Stacey to call the doctor. Asserting that she's fine, Stacey allows Jean to make the call to keep her quiet.

Elsewhere, Abi and Lauren decide to make Max's plans for a special afternoon with them all the more difficult. The day results in Max being taken to hospital as he gets his finger stuck in a bowling ball.
