## Plot

**Part One:** As dawn breaks, Adam still lies unconscious on the bistro floor as Daniel searches for him. He finds someone has painted the door of the solicitors office with the words "Liar" and "Cheat". Peter returns home to a frantic Carla after being out all night. She sees a spot of blood on his jumper. Gary has similarly been out all night and scrubs his hands as Maria demands to know if he has done anything to Ray. Peter tells a sobbing Carla that her fling with Adam has killed everything between them. Sally's worried about the effect of recent events on Tim. They are pleased when Faye announces she's no longer going to work for Ray, unaware of the real reason behind her decision. Kevin rings a livid Sally with the revelation that Debbie is part of Ray's conglomerate. Daniel calls at No.8 to see if Sarah knows where Adam is. Tim and Elaine call on Yasmeen. She is still on edge and frantically cleaning the flat. Tim insists he's thoroughly over Geoff. Ray and Debbie find Adam as they enter the bistro and call an ambulance.

**Part Two:** As Adam is taken away, Daniel breaks the news to Sarah. Elaine is concerned that Yasmeen is all over the place. Tim and Elaine decide to see more of each other, but she's startled when he invites her to move into No.4. Nina tells Debbie she's barred from the cafe as Sally confronts her over her deceit. The two women exchange hard words and Sally resolves to fight her plans to the finish. Todd claims the shower at No.11 is out of action. Paul hands him the keys to his flat and tells him to use theirs. Debbie tries to persuade Gary to reconsider withdrawing the sale of Underworld, but he refuses to do business with Ray as he's a sex pest, leaving Debbie frustrated. At the hospital, DS Willets questions Sarah who sends him in Peter's direction. She strenuously denies hurting Adam herself. Todd seizes the opportunity to have a snoop round the flat. Returning home unexpectedly, Billy's initially sceptical of Todd's explanation for being there but changes his mind and invites him to join him and Summer for lunch. Maria is worried that the police will suspect Gary of the attack on Adam. He suggests she provides him with a false alibi. Peter is unconcerned when Carla tells him about Adam. She asks whose blood was on his top. Peter tells her it was from a drunken man who he helped on the Red Rec. DS Willets walks in as they discuss the matter.
