Mike tells Jacqui he will support her in her relationship with Max, but Ron threatens to get another gun to keep him away from her. Jimmy has a plan to keep Tim out of prison, Leanne sends an e-mail to Bev warning her to stay away from the bar, Nisha and Emily fight, and Mick has a new theory about who was responsible for Susannah's death - Jacqui.

Steve has a date with Nisha, and Marty wonders if she will recognise him camouflaged as a deckchair. But he is called away to collect a stranded Adele, and Nisha goes on into town anyway. Jacqui resolves that she will go on seeing Max, and Tim is relieved when Ron agrees to tell the police that the gun came from Sotto.

Ron's version of where he obtained the gun looks likely to be accepted when more guns are found at Sotto's. Mick becomes convinced that it was Max rather than Jacqui who killed Susannah, and tries to beat the truth out of him. But Jacqui comes home in time to rescue him, and tells Mick he is just a sad man who has been dumped by all his family and friends.

Mick reflects on all that he has done and endured during his time on the Close. He feels that he has let his children and his family down, and everyone hates the way he lets his temper get to him. When Jimmy reflects on how he felt when he was prepared to end it all, and reveals that he is getting better now that he has learned to accept who he is, Mick decides what he must do.

Mick apologises to Max and Jacqui, and makes his peace with Tim, offering him some good advice, before leaving the Close forever. Max assures Jacqui that he really, really wants her to move in with him - and he has something else to ask her too.

Adele gets her GCSE results, and tells Emily about her abortion. Jacqui confides in Rachel that she is going to marry Max - and Rachel doesn't take long to spread the news. Katie reacts angrily, and Ron can't believe it.

Leanne discovers that Lance has agreed to be Max's best man, and Christy tries to turn her against her brother. Ron receives confirmation of his court date. After a bitter confrontation with Robbie, Jacqui and Max discover that Harry has gone missing.......

In a special double-length episode, a group of vigilantes set off in search of Robbie and the missing Harry. Tim discovers that Mike once went out with Lindsey, and wonders if that was what made her become a lesbian. Max and Jacqui anxiously await news, and he comes close to revealing a terrible secret to her.

Jimmy bruises his head while restraining Robbie, Tim collects his own reward by nicking Robbie's wallet, and Lindsey earns a wedding invitation by rescuing Harry. After seeing Max and Jacqui's closeness in a crisis, Ron gives them his blessing. But Max is having second thoughts about the wedding.

The police are forced to release Robbie without charge. On Harry's birthday, Jacqui is even more sure that she needs Max to marry her, and insists that he fully explains his reasons for wanting to cancel the wedding, confident that they will not make her change her mind.......

Tim tells Emily his dream, but she is not keen on the ways in which he plans to achieve it. Jacqui tries to convince Max that he is blaming himself for an accident, explains that she too could easily have been facing the same feelings of guilt, and is determined to stop him from turning himself in to the police.

Jacqui and Max get married in style, while a miserable, drunk and lonely Katie is visited by Robbie. Clint is on Robbie's mind as he comforts her in the way his brother might have done - and also on Ron's as he makes his "father-of-the-bride" speech.

After they read their letters from the Court Welfare Officer, Jackie asks Jimmy if she can move back in with him. Tim is determined to raise the money to pay for Emily to go and visit her mother. Jacqui wakes up on the morning after her wedding and finds that Max has gone out - but she knows where to find him.

Marty and Diane are enraged when they come home and find Adele and Michelle in the bedroom with new boyfriends - and while they read them the riot act upstairs, the lads are thieving from downstairs....... Lance tells Leanne what Christy has been up to - but he talks his way out of it. Jimmy soon discovers that it was a mistake to try again with Jackie.

Ron causes a scene when Katie refuses to let him see a doctor at the walk-in centre. Marty discovers that the insurance company will not entertain their claim because the thieves were "invited guests". Tim double-crosses Christy, and Nikki agrees to see Jerome again at the bar, but finds that he can't stop watching Nisha snogging Steve.

Christy has a plan to enable the Murrays to make a valid claim from the insurance company. Tim and Mike go for job interviews - but will Tim's honesty about his past pay off?

Ray's ideas for a day out makes Jessie feel old. The break-in at the Murrays' doesn't go entirely as planned. After Steve finds her collapsed in the flat, Katie feels more and more depressed, and sees a way out of her misery in a bottle of vodka and a handful of pills.
