Phil must decide whether to press charges

Phil lies in a hospital bed following the attack, while Jack sits in a police cell but is eventually let out on bail. Jack heads to the hospital to apologise to Phil, and finds that Sharon is with him. When the doctor tells Phil that he's well enough to talk to the police and go home, Sharon agrees to take a few days off work to look after him. However, she also gives Jack some hope that their relationship isn't over by confirming that he'll see her at home later.

When Phil is alone with Sharon again, he expresses fears about what this means for Lexi. Sharon insists that Lexi will be fine staying with her for a few days, but Phil explains that the residency deal insists on Lexi staying at his house. As a result, Sharon agrees to move in to look after both of them for a while. When the police then enter and ask Phil for his statement, will he press charges against Jack?

Later, Sharon arrives home to find that Jack is cooking for her, but she explains that she is going to be staying at Phil's to help with Lexi. Jack pleads with Sharon not to go, grabbing her arm hard. However, it's no use and Jack is left heartbroken as she refuses to change her mind…

Meanwhile, Ayesha struggles to make peace with Tamwar, who isn't impressed by her continued presence. Ayesha tells Tamwar that if she knew her relationship with Masood would come between them, she would walk away, so Tamwar tells her to leave. Later in The Vic, Ayesha explains to Masood that Tamwar is not willing to accept them as a couple, so she suggests they should move away together to start afresh.

Elsewhere, Patrick is mortified when Denise hires a carer to look after him for a few hours so that she can accompany Lucy to her appointment, Shirley congratulates Jack for his attack on Phil and tells him to finish the job next time, Lucy is relieved when her test results come back all clear, while Dot has a meeting with the Housing Benefit Office who warn that she'll have to wait to hear if any further action will be taken over the subletting situation.
