John has been getting away with murder – quite literally – but there’s only so much longer it can go on.

Aidan wakes up

As Victoria and John keep vigil at Harry’s hospital bedside, she thanks her brother for all his support. John loves feeling appreciated and is relieved Vic still has no clue he’s the reason for her son’s suffering.

John’s good mood doesn’t last long when he bumps into Aidan’s mum Cathleen outside. She informs him that Aidan has been moved to a ward and begs John to go and see him. This is all a bit too close for comfort for John. He needs Harry to hurry up and get better so they can far away from the hospital.

But Cathleen isn’t giving up on her son. As she’s sat with Aidan she mentions John’s name and suddenly his eyelids spring open. Aidan is awake – OMG!
