As Brian continues to play the victim with Angela and McKay, he is informed that Sharon will be taking another week's leave of absence. It's a short-lived break, though, as McKay informs him that she'll definitely be coming back.
Things are calm for the time being with Sharon gone, but Rachel's erratic behaviour could blow Brian right out of the water as the anxious schoolgirl is desperate to see him. He reassures her that all will be okay once the revelations die down, but rebellious Rachel is sick of people treating her like a child.
After spending the day drinking with her best friend and Brian's daughter Mel, Rachel attempts to pay Brian a visit at the station. Will her actions unravel the pair's inappropriate dalliance?
Meanwhile, back at the Tyrells', Conor is adjusting to being at home and on crutches. Suffering withdrawal symptoms, he needs something urgently and frantically makes desperate calls to try and get his fix. His secret is safe from mum Angela and dad Tommy for now, but how long can he keep a lid on his spiralling drug habit?
