Amber tells Ewan that she's been trying to contact Lee and he warns her not to let Lenny find out what she's doing. Lydia is concerned that something is wrong with her daughter, and when she listens to Amber's phone messages and hears a message from Lee she jumps to the wrong conclusion. When Lydia confronts Amber about her 'affair' with Lee Amber blurts out the truth - Lee isn't really her brother. A confused and angry Lydia asks Lenny if it's true and he denies it, but he's secretly shocked to hear that Lee is still alive. Lydia's gobsmacked when she finds Amber in Hola with Lee. He confirms that Lenny paid him to pretend to be her son. She throws him out but he finds her later and tells her the whole truth including Lenny trying to have him killed. He's horrified to learn the Lenny now knows that he's still alive and both Lydia and Lee realise that Ewan is in danger. Lenny lures Ewan to the flat and attacks him, demanding to know who else he's told about Lee's real identity. Ewan manages to sneak his phone under a cushion but when it rings it's discovered, and an angry Lenny throws the phone out of the window before knocking Ewan unconscious. Raymond tells Lydia that Lenny and Ewan went to a flat, and Lee realises where they are. Lenny has tied Ewan to a chair and is ranting at him. However when Lydia frantically knocks on the door he goes silent. With no answer, and no sign of movement inside, Lee and Lydia retreat in defeat. But then they hear a phone ring - it's Ewan's mobile lying in the street, and on it there's a partially written text saying 'help'. As they rush back to the flat Lenny, in cold-blooded killer mode, is threatening to kill Ewan. In desperation he knocks his chair over in time for Lee and Lydia to hear the noise and realise he's in there. Lydia tricks Lenny into opening the door. She rushes to untie Ewan as Lee and Lenny fight. Lenny overpowers Lee and leaves him unconscious on the floor. As Lydia is about to call the police Lenny attacks Ewan who climbs out of the window onto some scaffolding. Lenny has a change of heart and pleads with Ewan to come back inside, but he slips and to everyone's horror falls. A hysterical Amber rushes to Ewan's body as a crowd gather from inside The Tall Ship. Malcolm looks on in shock, having seen the whole thing. Molly continues to cause trouble in Montego Street. When she realises Big Bob is moving on with his life she steals his keys and trashes the community centre in order to try and get him sacked. Eileen accuses Bob of not doing his job properly until she views the CCTV footage. Eileen plays the security tape to a flabbergasted Bob and Scarlett - it shows Molly wilfully wrecking the community centre. Scarlett finally snaps and calls the police. Molly is taken away in a police car in full view of the bemused Oyster Café patrons. Back at the Mullen's Wee Bob and Jimmy can't believe Scarlett called the police on her own mum, and she has trouble convincing them that Molly is a menace and not a soft old woman. However she is amazed when Molly turns up with a police officer. They believe Molly is a danger to herself and so they want her to stay with Scarlett. Neither Molly nor Scarlett are happy about this arrangement but realising there's nothing she can do about it an exasperated Scarlett takes Bob, Jimmy and Big Bob off to the pub. Raymond is going too far to make Iona feel at home, leaving her feeling smothered. In the deli Ruth picks up on this and has an idea, she offers Iona the spare room in her flat. Iona thinks it's a great plan but is nervous about hurting Raymond. She tries to tell him but fails to go through with it when she see's how much it would hurt him. Unfortunately Ruth doesn't realise and shocks Raymond when she asks him to pass on a set of keys to Iona, telling him how excited she is about her new flatmate. Raymond is hurt and reveals to Iona that he knows about her plans to move. Iona feels she has no choice but to hand Ruth her keys back - she can't leave Raymond on his own. It's up to Ruth to convince Raymond that he's not moving on from Shona's death and it's time to let her, and Iona, go. Later Raymond tells Iona he's fine with her moving out, but that she'll always be welcome at his place.
