Liam announces to Maria that he's not going to school anymore. Gary and Maria see Mrs Crawshaw and explain how Liam's refusing to go to school because he's being bullied by Mason and Dylan. Mrs Crawshaw tells them that until they have proof, there's nothing she can do.
Eileen urges Maria to check Liam's socials as she'll likely find the evidence she needs there. Maria creates a fake SendPx account and sends Liam a follow request. As Maria scrolls through the comments on Liam's account, her face becomes ashen.
Gary and Maria tell Liam that the only option left is for him to change schools. In his bedroom, Liam searches online for ways to end his own life.
Meanwhile, Bobby hands Lauren a small bunch of flowers. But when a delivery man enters with a huge posh bouquet, an embarrassed Bobby realises he's got competition.
