Max threatens to kill Carl

Max finally loses patience with his love rival.

When flowers are delivered to the Brannings', Max is furious as he knows that Carl must have sent them. Max is quick to confront Carl, who points out that today would have been his and Kirsty's wedding anniversary. However, things look up for Max when it comes to the business as he calls one of his slippery contacts Sid and manages to seal a deal which will leave him and Jack with £10,000 profit.

Later, Max's anger rises again when Lauren stumbles upon a bottle of champagne which has been left outside the car lot. It's clear that Carl is behind all of the mischief. The Brannings vow to ignore his antics and celebrate the business deal, but on the way to The Vic, Max receives a call from Sid who tells him that the arrangement is off. Enjoying the setback, Carl watches on smugly and makes a comment about Lauren's drinking, causing Max to lose it. In front of shocked onlookers, Max flies at Carl and vows to kill him if he goes anywhere near his family…

Meanwhile, Carl is also getting involved in Phil's life as he makes him a business offer. Knowing that he needs the cash due to the pressure from Shirley and the recent loss of the £10k, Phil reluctantly agrees to get involved in Carl's dodgy deal.

Elsewhere, Jake forcefully marches Lauren out of the door at a group counselling session after she becomes uncomfortable and gets a fit of the giggles while listening to a lady's story. Later, a guilty Lauren apologises to Jake and they head off to a local café together. Jake then reveals some of his past, explaining that he had two restaurants but lost them. Regarding his marriage, Jake admits that things aren't good at the moment but they're still trying. There's an obvious spark between Jake and Lauren as he hints that they should meet up again.
