Charity is annoyed Noah has been seeing Joe behind her back again but Noah is more concerned by whether Joe will be okay. Frank admits to Megan that he went to see Graham. He realises he needs to regain Megan's trust. Debbie heads to the hospital. She peers through the glass on the door to Joe's room and sees that he appears to be alright. Joe spots Debbie. The voices in Belle's head have made her believe Chas and Aaron blame her for everything bad that's happened to Lisa and Liv. She puts in her headphones in to drown the voice out. Joe approaches Debbie in the corridor and thanks her for saving his life. Debbie claims she's only here to check on Joe for Noah but Joe doesn't believe that's the only reason she came. Aaron apologises to Robert for his outburst earlier and acknowledges Liv was right about him being self-obsessed. Joe asks Debbie why she didn't leave him to drown.
