After being rushed to hospital, the doctor informs a shocked Carla that the sepsis has damaged her kidney and she may need another transplant. As Ryan Connor returns from Ireland, Lisa Swain visits Carla after realising that she lied about where she was.

Lisa insists that she doesn’t appreciate being lied to and Carla makes out that she didn’t want any fuss and is on the mend. Clearly hurt by the situation, Lisa leaves her to it.

After spending the afternoon in bed with Mason Radcliffe, Betsy Swain is angry when she reads text messages on his phone from Stu Carpenter offering him a job in Germany as a trainee chef.

Betsy orders him to leave as Lisa arrives home and demands to know what's going on. Lisa catches up with Mason and shows him some photos taken at the crime scene of Becky’s death and tells him that his brothers were driving the car that hit Becky.

Mason is stunned and asks Dylan Wilson to keep a lookout for him while he searches Matty and Logan’s flat. He and Dylan arrive at the station and hand Lisa a WWII helmet that he found at their place. Could it be the evidence Lisa needs to get justice for her partner?
