Lucas forces a prostitute to pray

In Lucas's car, Jade the prostitute puts her hand on Lucas's knee but all of a sudden, he starts the car and races off with her still inside. Rolling onto some wasteland, Lucas forces Jade to the ground and demands that she pray. Jade's attempt to escape is thwarted when Lucas gives chase and with that, he knees beside her. Speaking out loud, Lucas asks God to wash Jade of her sins but when she tries to flee again, he forcefully grabs her by the arm and insists that she ask the Lord for forgiveness. As Jade closes her eyes, Lucas takes off his tie and a savage look flashes across Lucas's face - and Jade's scream echoes across the abandoned ground.

Awaiting Lucas's return, Denise and Jordan discuss the impending court case. Jordan's adamant that they should tell the truth. At court, Denise reveals to Phil and Shirley that Jordan's changed his statement. The court, however, refers Ben's case to Crown Court. Over fish and chips, Phil and Ben discuss the worst case scenario, if Ben was sentenced to time in a detention centre. Ben attempts to cover his fear but it's clear he's immensely worried about the prospect. Later, Shirley and Denise toast the day's events just as Lucas bursts in, kissing Denise in front of the locals. On learning that Jordan's changed his statement, Lucas admits that he's proud of them both for doing the right thing.

Back at the house, Denise prepares for a romantic evening and as she touches his body, he winces in pain. Checking himself in the mirror, Lucas notices deep scratch marks on his face and neck. He quickly wipes away the blood in a sheer panic.

Meanwhile, Darren desperately attempts to avert Jodie's attention from the Car Lot in the hope that she doesn't spot her mother in a passionate embrace with Max.

Inside the office, Vanessa tries to entice Max back on the floor for round two! Later, Darren reveals to Max that Vanessa's married and furious that she didn't come clean, Max confronts her. Vanessa, however, is firm - it's his choice if he wants to see her again. In The Vic, Max and Darren toss coins to settle whether they'll continue seeing Vanessa and Jodie. Darren wins, while Max makes Darren believe he lost, meaning he will stop romancing Jodie's mum. When his phone rings, though, Max can't help but answer and promptly leaves to meet Vanessa again.
