John Paul tries to cover up his drinking relapse, but when he doesn't remember telling Matthew-Jesus they'd spend the day together, his son lashes out, feeling let down.

Tension brews in the McQueen house as a clean-up party leads Mercedes to discover that John Paul had continued to drink.

When John Paul returns home with more alcohol, he points the blame at his sister. Concerned, she leaves him with some home truths, but is it enough to stop him?

After continuing to drink, John Paul takes his son out of school and to the park. With his dad drunk and unstable on his feet, Matthew-Jesus is knocked to the floor. The bruised youngster takes himself and his dad home, where he is confronted by his concerned family.

Meanwhile, Tony takes Darren up on his offer to help at The Dog, but passing comments from his friend about Diane training with his son leaves Tony feeling threatened. After voicing this to Beau and his wife, the pair feel hurt. Is Tony just being paranoid?

Elsewhere in the village, Honour gets a shock call from the prison, who want to interview her about the incident that happened between her and Eric. Will she be able to save her job?
