- Liam Strikes Back and Mick’s Revenge Turns Cruel
Tensions between Liam and Mick come to a boiling point this week after Liam, still seething from being humiliated at the builder’s yard and doused in cement, seeks petty revenge by lacing Mick’s tea with washing powder. But Mick is no man to be mocked. Instead of brushing it off, he retaliates in a far darker manner—locking Liam inside the tool shed at the yard. The move is disturbing, signaling just how sinister Mick’s temper can get. What began as a schoolyard-style prank spirals into something far more dangerous, and Liam may be in over his head.
- Gary Crosses the Line as He Defends His Family
When Maria learns of Liam’s confinement, she is shaken and furious. Protective instincts kick in, and she demands justice. Gary, never one to stand down when it comes to his family, takes matters into his own hands. In a heated altercation, he flips the script—locking Mick in the same shed in a move fueled more by vengeance than righteousness. But Mick doesn’t stay silent. After being sacked, he explodes with violence and punches Gary, prompting a dangerous stand-off where Gary reaches for a glass bottle. Just as it seems someone will get seriously hurt, Kit intervenes—his calm exterior masking the brewing storm beneath.

Kit’s reluctance to take decisive action against Mick begins to raise eyebrows across the street. Maria, already livid, accuses him of enabling Mick’s dangerous behavior. Gary, still fuming from his own encounter, joins her in confronting Kit. But Kit deflects, pointing fingers at Gary’s aggression during the earlier altercation. Bernie remains unconvinced, seeing through Kit’s excuses and growing increasingly desperate to understand what he’s hiding. As Kit continues to stand by Mick, it becomes clear: there’s more to their connection than anyone realizes.

Brody is back on the cobbles after being released from the secure training center, and his return is marked with cautious optimism.

- Lauren Betrays Bobby—and Pays the Price
Lauren’s recent deception reaches a critical point when she confesses to Bobby that she used the £500 he gave her—not to pay off a blackmailer as promised, but to secure a flat deposit.
