Michelle's had a long night tending to a restless Maria and when Ryan arrives she has the tough job of breaking the news to him that Tony had Liam killed.

Still in a state of shock it's clear Maria is a broken woman.

Joe's horrified as Rick tells him his debt has now doubled and threatens to take the boat as payment. Will Joe finally confess the extent of his debts to Gail? As the Barlows welcome George and Eve to tea they're stunned as Blanche walks in dressed to the nines. She openly flirts with George, who is charm personified, that is until she lets a few family skeletons out of the closet. And Lloyd provides a limousine as Eileen's surprise present for Jesse's birthday.
