Maxine has some fun in the Dog

Maxine decides Mitzeee needs her support, and tries to remind her sister how to have fun. She tries to spice up the pub a bit and 'accidentally' spills her drink over Liam to get him topless then cranks up the music, leaving Frankie furious when she returns. Myra meets with Mercy's barrister Jim McGinn, but he is less then conventional and Myra's perturbed to find out that he may not be much help. It's awkward when Dodger tells Dirk he's going to stay with Patrick and Sienna for a while. Dirk tries to take the moral-high ground but wonders whether it maybe for the best. He apologises to Patrick and hugs Dodger as he goes off with his 'real' family. But Dodger soon realises that he can't go ahead with it and returns to the boat, while Patrick promises Sienna they'll get him back. Also, Jacqui is on self destruct, but her behaviour is hurting someone close to home.
