Tanya goes into Lauren’s room. She asks her if it is real. Lauren tells her mum that it is and she didn’t know what to do with it. Tanya calls her a nasty little brat. Lauren pleads with her mum that it wasn’t like that. Max was so mean to her, and she wanted to hurt him for what he’d done to her.

It’s all, Max. Tanya tells both girls to stay in the room for her. Abi comforts Lauren.

For wrecking a home? For ruining my family? You should have thought about that before you dropped your knickers for that.” Stacey begs her to listen and tells her that Max loves her and the girls. Stacey tells her it’s her fault, she started it, and I didn’t mean to break up your family.

Tanya tells her she must have been laughing at her! All those girly chats, doing your hair, giving you advice before your wedding and slipping off into bed. Stacey tells her it wasn’t like that; it wasn’t. It was just a fling, and it meant nothing. Tanya asks her what it was like then? Romantic walks along the river? Stacey tells her she’s sorry. Tanya says, “Oh well, poor, you, my heart bleeds for ya!” Stacey says she is sorry again and Tanya smacks her hard across the face.

Stacey comes home to the Slaters and hears them discussing her. Jean thinks this will all blow over, and they’ll wake up in the morning, and it will all be ok.

Tanya is still rewatching the video. Sean brings her a cup of tea and turns off the video. Tanya wonders how things could get any worse. She says she had no idea and she feels so stupid. Sean tells Tanya that Stacey feels terrible. She asks Sean if Stacey ever said anything to him as they are so close. Sean tells her no. Tanya starts to have a panic attack and cries out “what am I going to do?” over and over. She kisses Sean, and he stops her and tells her this is not what she wants. Tanya sits up and says, “what am I going to do?” She tosses Sean out. The baby starts to cry, and she stands there shaking.

Max arrives at Dots looking for Bradley. He tells Dot he wants to talk to him and make sure he’s ok. Dot tells him it’s a bit late for that innit? Max tells her it’s not what it looks like. Dot tells him that she brought up a liar and a thief. She knows a liar and thief when she sees one. She quotes scripture about all things being revealed. Max needs to make sure Bradley is alright. Dot tells him it’s his duty as a father. She tells him that Jim was right in everything he ever said about Max. He told her from that start that he was nothing but trouble.

Jack yells at him, “she’s your daughter-in-law! She’s five years older than Lauren!” Max yells at him, “don’t you think I know that?” Jack tells him that whatever he’s got, whatever it was it ain’t worth what you have to lose. Jack tells him he knows because he’s lost all of that. They argue some more, and Jack tells Max that he’s trying very hard to help him. He reminds him that whatever he thinks he’s still his brother. He tells Max that he’s got to go in there and speak to his son because he’s in a very, very bad place.”

Jean is going on about how this wasn’t Stacey’s fault. He made her do it. Jean wonders where Sean was? Why wasn’t he looking after her? That’s what she wants to know! Without their dad here, it falls to Sean to take care of her since she’s worthless. Stacey says she needs to look for Bradley. Jean says yes she does as she can’t lose sweet Bradley.

Max walks into the Vic and tries to speak with Bradley. Bradley breaks a bunch of glasses and falls. The bar is unaware of what is happening and thinks Bradley can’t hold his drink. Peggy tells Max he should take him home. They go to leave when Peggy hands him the keys he’s forgotten. Bradley points to Stacey’s photo and says that she is a slut. Max pushes Bradley out of the pub and into the square.

Bradley tells him not to touch him again. He can take him even though he is younger than him; he is stronger. They argue, and Max tries to get him to listen to him. Bradley goes to his apartment. Max tries to comfort him, and Bradley tells him to leave him alone.

Bradley tells him, “you said she wasn’t right for me!” Max tells him, “well, I was right, wasn’t I?” Bradley realizes what his dad has done by not denying Stacey and sleeping with her. Max tells him it was while they were done. He tells Bradley if he wants to blame anyone then blame him because Stacey has a good heart. He tells him that Stacey loves him.

Stacey goes to Dots looking for Bradley. Dot tells her she can’t look at her right now. Stacey begs Dot to tell Bradley she loves him. Dot tells her she’s thrown the best thing in her life away and for what?

Max begs for another chance. He tells Bradley he’s still his little boy. Bradley tells him his mum was right; he’s nothing to him. He tells Max not to worry as he has another little boy now. He has a lot of time to plan on how to rip his heart out. He’s done it twice to him, once when he was a little boy and now he’s come back to finish him off. Bradley says the only thing worse is now he’s lost, Stacey. Max says he doesn’t have to. He should give her another chance.

Tanya is packing bags when Lauren and Abi walk in. Tanya tells them it will be ok and they should go downstairs to wait for her.
