As well as Chrissie’s dramatic showdown with Kat, Linda discovered Max had been lying to her and Elaine was taken away by the police.

Elsewhere, Bea manipulated Honey once again.

Linda uncovered Max’s lies

Jealous of Linda and Max’s blossoming romance, Bea ruined it all by telling Elaine that Louie was Ollie’s bully – and that Max knew. Elaine couldn’t wait to tell Linda, who was understandably upset, given that she and Max kissed the night before.

Linda confronted Max, who was forced to admit he’d covered the truth.

Linda also lashed out at Lauren, telling her that mums are meant to stick together. But when Lauren said she wanted to tell her, Linda realised Max asked her to keep quiet.

Max tried to apologise, but Linda gave him one more chance to be honest and asked if he found out about Louie before or after they kissed.

He lied that it was afterwards, but she knew he was fibbing and was left heartbroken.

The police questioned Elaine

Later, Elaine took Ollie for a milkshake, but she saw Louie on the way. She confronted him, grabbing his arm in front of everyone.

That afternoon, the two families had a big fight, with Ian goading Elaine as usual.

Eventually, the police arrived, and it turned out Ian had made a complaint against Elaine. She was carted off to the station, as Ian looked on smugly.

Bea twisted things with Honey

Honey tried to tell Bea that she couldn’t stay at their house while they were on holiday because the landlord wanted to do repairs.

Desperate not to be homeless, Bea manipulated Honey by convincing her she needed her there as a project manager.

As Bea spun her web, Honey went from telling Bea she couldn’t move in to thanking her for overseeing the building work.

Is Honey ever going to see Bea for who she really is?
