Adam's in hot water!

Whodunit? That's the question people want answered after the garage fire. Debbie wants to know, Moira wants to know, the police want to know... Of course, Cain, Adam and Aaron already know that Adam set the fire. And a terrified Adam confesses to Holly that he's the fire starter. They keep the truth from Moira, but will Cain keep the truth from the police when they turn up to ask questions? That might not matter as Adam is at breaking point when the police come looking for a statement from him. Sam's at the end of his tether with his father and tells Lisa that Zak has been drinking a lot. He says that's the reason Zak went missing with Samson and he doesn't want Zak picking up Samson from school any more. Lisa turns on Zak, who turns on his heels and walks out. Desperate Dan walks right back into the village and into Ali's life and she's not happy. He just shows up and says he's taking the kids out for a meal, like he's Dad of the Year. Ali's had enough and so has Ruby, who says it's time Ali divorced Dan. Or they could all just move away.
