Mercedes is ready to carry out Donna-Marie's plan. Maxine throws away reminders of Warren. Liberty considers Honour's free therapy session. Wendy hides and listens in as Mercedes and Donna-Marie discuss their plan at the park. A repulsed Maxine finds Sienna with Warren at the garage. She slaps Sienna. Mercedes dresses as a hired escort. Liberty visits Honour and admits to her she's terrified as the things keeping her awake at the moment also kept her awake when she had post-partum psychosis.
Mercedes gets her client, Frank, to undress as Donna-Marie hides out of site. Once Frank's trousers are down, Donna-Marie jumps out, takes a photo and prepares to blackmail Frank out of £5,000, but Wendy interrupts their wrongdoings and talks down to Mercedes, leaving Mercedes defeated and eyeing up the drugs left behind by Frank. Donna-Marie begs Wendy to give Mercedes one more chance, but as she does, Mercedes cries and takes the drugs. Scott encourages Maxine to let Warren go. Honour thinks Liberty has mild PTSD after her stay at the hospital. Liberty turns her attention to her personal relationships, which Honour provides her further advice for.
Wendy drops Bobby off at the McQueens house as a gesture of goodwill but Bobby's uncomfortable by Mercedes's behaviour and the pair end up arguing. Mercedes sends Bobby to his room. Taking back control of her emotions, Maxine sets the record straight with Warren and wishes him luck dating a Blake. Wendy returns to collect Bobby but finds Mercedes passed out on the sofa and Bobby, who has wet himself, locked away in his room. Wendy phones the police and Mercedes is arrested. Saul informs Mercedes that Bobby will be moved back into Wendy's care.Cast
