Later, though, she reaches out to Cain, and the siblings reflect once more on their rocky childhood...
2. A night of soul-searching for Chas and Cain
Faith spends an evening with friends Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell) and Brenda Walker (Lesley Dunlop), thinking over her regrets over Cain. Meanwhile, Cain himself shares distressing memories of the past with Chas; revealing just how much damage Faith's decisions have inflicted upon him. Chas can see her brother's pain, and the pair reminisce and bond.
By the end of the night, Cain finally agrees to make an effort with Faith, and he and Chas part on good terms. But can Cain truly reconnect with his mum after years of turmoil and trauma? It's the one thing that Faith has her heart set on, so let's hope so.
3. Charles meets his daughter
Following Charles' row with Ethan (Emile John) the week before, the father and son make amends. But they are shocked when Ethan hears from mother Esme that his sister Naomi has gone missing. Charles feels guilty, wondering whether it's down to his refusal to meet the daughter he never knew about until fairly recently.
After praying for her safety, Charles receives a picture found by Ethan's boyfriend Marcus Dean (Darcy Grey). Determined to find Naomi, Charles searches in a bar and eventually finds her arguing with her manager. He steps in to help, and Naomi is bewildered when he reveals he's her father. What will happen next - can Charles forge a relationship with Naomi?
4. Will Leyla confess?
Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) is growing concerned about wife Leyla, but he doesn't know about her cocaine habit yet. He quizzes her when he finds out that she wasn't with Priya Kotecha (Fiona Wade) as she claimed, and Leyla uses grief for the late Leanna's anniversary as a cover, but Liam remains worried.
Leyla panics when Liam says he knows why she has been lying, but what is it that he thinks? Later, Leyla returns home to find Liam asleep. Placing her bags of cocaine on the table, she steels herself to admit the truth - but will she?
5. David's lies continue
When a traumatised Nicola, who was recently brutally attacked by a gang, collided with David's van, the latter decided to use the accident to his own advantage. Buckling under huge debts, David feigned an injury so he could make an insurance claim, but his loved ones remain at odds with this cold decision.
As Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) and Priya voice their disapproval, David shows a flicker of remorse. Will he really keep up the lies, or drop his case and find another way to solve his money woes?
