Rainie sticks to orange juice, but after a run-in with Phil she turns to alcohol. Max sees Rainie with Jack and warns her off. Rainie is defiant and she and Jack end up in a passionate clinch. Ian and Jane are at war and Ian divides the house in half with tape and insists Jane sticks to 'her' half. Jane 'accidentally' pours milk in Ian's lap. Later, Jane takes money from the cafe till when Ian blocks her access to the joint account then sells Ian's watch to Billy and changes the locks on the house. Ian is forlorn as he realises his marriage is really over. Abi catches Max checking the flight arrival times for Tanya's plane and realises he's still got feelings for her. Abi tells Max that Tanya is happy with Greg. Later, Max lies to Vanessa he's just worried about Jack when she comments he's been distant.
