Leyla is riled when Megan gloats about her night with Jai. Debbie is frosty when Charity arrives to thank her for lying about the abortion.

Ali begs Kerry not to say anything to Ruby as she picks up on tension between the two of them. Charity catches Robbie going through her desk and sacks him, before evicting him from Brook Cottage. Declan decides he's had enough and calls the police on Megan.
