The big news is that Silas – you know, the serial killer - has avoided trial by saying he's mentally unfit. Mercedes upset Riley's not reacted well to it – and goes on the hunt for Lynsey, Mercedes and Doug to talk about how angry it's made him. Lynsey tells him to calm down about it – that being angry won't help. Mercedes says the same but she's not okay at all, and keeps on having horrible dreams about the time Silas kidnapped her and threatened to kill her and her unborn baby. That would kind of stick with you.
And Doug…well, Doug's not thinking about Silas at all. He's holed himself up in his room for weeks and refuses to talk to people or interact like a normal human being. Ste's struggling at the deli on his own – he can't cook and serve and talk and look good all at the same time, and god knows how he's handling all the money side of the business.
Riley talks to Doug about Silas, and how upsetting it is that the truth will always be hidden if he doesn't stand trial. Doug realises that it's his turn to tell the truth, and after Leanne nags him, he confesses that he thinks he's gay and he doesn't know what to do about it.
Meanwhile, the Savages come back from a family holiday to discover their campervan's gone. They can't call the police about it because it was full of Dodger's dodgy knock-off goods. Myra's dumped all of this stuff behind the Dog and tips the Savages off about it. They find it and start to look for somewhere to live. While they think of ways to make money, Dennis is delighted to have them move in to his place.
Some other families aren't so close-knit, though. Just as she's about to go into an exam, Maddie sees her dad getting off with Carmel – yep, the married man Carmel was dating is the college queen bee's dad! Though Maddie pretends to Tilly that nothing's wrong, she can't manage her exam at all…and of course, Carmel is heartbroken.
