As well as Julie finally calling Clare, Max’s revenge plan played out as Tim made his exit from Walford.

Elsewhere, Callum discovered Johnny slept with Tim. Also, Howie got through to Patrick, and Ravi bonded with Mark.

Max taught Tim a lesson he won’t forget

After kidnapping Tim by pretending to be his taxi driver, Max took him to a backstreet. He then locked Tim in the boot of his car and pretended to pour petrol over it, terrifying Tim. Eventually, Max let Tim out, but only after he had promised to pay Johnny the money he owed. After throwing him to the ground and giving him a beating, Max pretended to reverse over Tim with his car before racing off.

Johnny confessed to Callum

When Callum caught Linda and Johnny arguing over Max kidnapping Tim, Johnny had no choice but to tell his boyfriend everything. Callum was furious at first, but when Johnny told him the details, he realised Johnny hadn’t simply cheated. Feeling awful about what Johnny had been through, Callum pointed out that what Tim did was sexual coercion and told Johnny they should go to the police. Johnny didn’t want to tell anyone else, but after a long talk, the couple got things back on track.

Howie made a breakthrough with Patrick

After seeing Kim so down about Patrick and his addiction to AI Anthony, Howie decided to intervene. He went to see Patrick and got through to him, encouraging him to open the box of Anthony’s belongings that had been sent from his ex-wife. Eventually, Patrick admitted he knew that the AI version of his son wasn’t real and asked them to delete the app. Kim was thrilled, and there was a spark between her and Howie.

Ravi bonded with Mark

Still worried about the police sting planned for later in the week, Ravi was torn over whether to warn Mark. Priya pointed out that this was a good thing as it would get Mark off their backs if he were arrested. But after sharing a drink with Mark in Harry’s Bar, Ravi decided that he had to warn his new friend. However, before he could say too much, Priya arrived. Will Ravi risk everything to save Mark?
