Ben is confronted by a furious Rainie, Habiba has something important to say to Iqra, and Ted makes Dinah and Bailey a generous offer.
Rainie is stunned when she realises that all the cars have been stolen from the car lot. Ben is smug that his plan worked and he tells Lola she needs to be his alibi for last night. Rainie, however, is sure that Ben is behind the robbery and she angrily confronts him.
But there’s a bigger shock in store for Rainie when Max arrives back! Not only that, he wants them to move forward as a couple. What will Rainie say? In the Vic, Ben takes Jay aside and drops a bombshell on him. He reveals that Jay is still the legal owner of the car lot, not Max, and he offers to help him fight Max to get it back….
Habiba and Iqra are horrified when Mariam and Arshad return home unannounced, as they don’t know how they’re going to explain why they’re living in the Square.

Bailey is upset that Dinah will have to move into a care home. When Ted realises how distressed Bailey is, he makes a lovely offer, suggesting Mitch, Dinah and Bailey move into his flat, as he can lodge with Patrick. A grateful Dinah and Bailey move into the flat, helped by the Taylors. Chantelle is feeling bad for the way she spoke to Karen about her fight with Kim and tries to make amends.
