Amber told Lydia the truth about Lee. When confronted, Lenny denied this, and was stunned to learn that Lee is still alive. Lenny lured Ewan to the flat, where he held him hostage. Bob's job at the centre was almost gone when Molly trashed the place, to make it look like a burglary, and left the door open. Molly was caught on CCTV and later arrested after Scarlett phoned the police on her. Ruth offered Iona a spare room at her flat. Iona eventually agreed to move in, after worrying about Raymond's feelings. Lydia and Lee realised where Ewan was and tricked Lenny into opening the door.
