Liam and Joseph settle down to watch a film. When Joseph asks Liam if things have improved at school, Liam struggles to breathe and reaches for his inhaler. Joseph urges him to tell Maria about his panic attacks but Liam refuses as he doesn’t want to worry her.

While Joseph keeps lookout, Liam rummages in the cupboards for sweets. He’s intrigued to find Paul’s stash of Benzo pills and puts them in his pocket.

In The Rovers, Gary watches Sarah with concern as she knocks back the wine. When he spots her heading home with another bottle, he goes over.

Liam returns home to find Gary not back. Feeling a panic attack coming on, he takes out Paul’s Benzo pills.

Later, Billy discovers the missing pills. When Joseph reveals that Liam was looking for sweets, Billy panics. Alone in the flat, Liam lies unconscious, with the pill bottle next to him.

Meanwhile, Roy is gutted when Dee-Dee breaks the news that the police have had no luck tracing Lauren’s necklace and mystery boyfriend so they’re back to square one.

Daniel tells Ken that he’s arranged to meet Nicky because, as an ex sex worker, she may have news regarding Lauren. Ken warns him to be careful.

Elsewhere, outside the flat, Bernie comes face to face with Denny, pushing Paul’s wheelchair. Denny makes out he’s taking it for a service but Bernie doesn’t believe a word and threatens to call the police.

Also today, Alya spells out to Adam that their kiss has ruined her career prospects. Rich meets up with Alya and confirms that the work placement in Dublin is still hers as Adam has assured him that any misunderstanding was entirely his fault.

Finally, when Glenda tells a guilty George how she desperately wants to raise the money to buy the Little Big Shotz business from Estelle, he offers to help her apply for a bank loan. But as he looks over her accounts, he realises there’s no way she’ll ever get a loan.
