EastEnders spoilers follow.
EastEnders has seen Grant Mitchell take a big risk in his bid to fix his relationship with his son Mark Fowler. The father-son duo recently got into a nasty physical fight at the Queen Vic, leaving Grant feeling sorry for himself.
In tonight's scenes, Max Branning was investigating Mark after finding his keys on the car lot and connecting him to some vehicles that'd been set on fire.
Convinced that Mark was behind the break-in at Maximum Motors, Max urged his daughter Lauren to stay away from him. Little did Max know that Lauren had been in cahoots with Mark, with the pair selling stolen cars and making fast cash for Lauren to become co-owner of the car lot.
Meanwhile, Grant was drowning his sorrows at the bar, where he opened up on his plans to move to Portugal. Pub landlady Kat Moon listened to him, though she suggested he would always go back to Walford eventually.
"Every time I leave this place, there's one thing less to come back for," a resigned Grant said.

Later on, Linda Carter checked in on Grant after having rejected his drunken advances. The two cleared the air as she urged him to talk to Mark.
When father and son finally came face to face again, Grant pleaded with Mark to consider going to Portugal with him. Grant begged his son to be careful, warning him that his dodgy affairs could land him in jail for a long time, or worse.
Mark made it very clear he had no intention to go live with his dad and wasn't interested in trying to get to know each other, but Grant was determined to try and be there for him, no matter the cost.
In the final scenes, Grant proved his loyalty to his son, getting him out of a sticky situation with Max and Cindy Beale. When Cindy lied and said she saw Mark stealing the cars, Grant interjected and took the blame.
"She's lying," Grant said. "Mark didn't torch those cars. I did."
