The bullies push Esther to breaking point!

Tilly and Jen worry about what Esther saw yesterday. Meanwhile, Esther wonders whether anyone would notice if she didn't go to college. As she walks down the corridor, shouts of 'p***y pants' greet her and she's utterly humiliated as a bottle of pee hurtles her way. She opens her locker and finds a picture of Maddie, Jono and Neil with 'it should have been you' underneath. It suddenly dawns on her what she needs to do... It's Mitzeee's birthday, but all she can think about is who's not there to celebrate with her - Riley. Maxine promises to make it a happy one. Myra is left very red-faced at the charity fundraiser when Dr. Browning arrives and reveals she's got the all-clear - uh oh! Jim McGinn is suspicious and convinces Myra to sue the hospital for malpractice, potentially ruining Browning and Mercedes. Browning tries to convince Myra otherwise, but she desperately needs the money. Dirk is getting cold feet about the wedding now he knows Myra's not dying and is relieved when Myra calls it off first - back to 'friends with benefits'! Meanwhile, Texas gets a nasty surprise.
