As she tells him she only watching his back, Carl is rushed into the ward with severe injuries after evidently being beaten up by the loan sharks. Faye panics on seeing him but Jac and Joseph tell her to carry on working as they rush him into theatre. While scrubbing up, Jac is shocked to discover Joseph wrote Carl a cheque. Not knowing Faye never gave him the cheque, they panic, thinking that if anything happens to Carl during surgery, the cheque will link Joseph to him. With Elliot’s assistance they operate on Carl, but he dies during surgery.
In the toilets Lindsey confronts Kyla, abusing her and manipulating her into becoming angry. Kyla realises Lindsey is drunk and doesn’t fall for her games; for her it’s like looking in a mirror. Kyla instead ignores Lindsey’s comments and tells her some home truths, leaving her to think about what her drinking is doing to these children. Kyla then goes to speak to Lola and manages to convince her to get five minutes more time with Max to try and get him to confess to what Lindsey is really like. They don’t get anywhere, but realise that Max is holding the fort for Lindsey and that he feels it is his responsibility to look after the children, like neither his mum nor foster mum ever did.

Jac sees Faye get into a taxi and follows Faye on her bike.
