As the week begins, the last few days of Lola‘s life beckon. Jay brings in nurse Suzanne after Lola suffers another seizure. He is devastated when Suzanne tells him that Lola doesn’t have long left.

Meanwhile, Billy panics about getting Lexi, Will and Janet out of the house and away from Lola’s final moments. As the reality of the situation sets in, Billy begins to feel the pressure.

After a few drinks, he finds himself at odds with Nish, who deliberately tries to provoke him. Enraged, Billy smashes the Minute Mart window.

Martin, Honey and Phil attempt to restrain raging Billy while Nish demands justice for the window. However, he’s left even less pleased when Phil dismissively chucks a handful of cash at him.

Jack tries to defuse the situation – but Billy accidentally whacks him in the face. As Nish continues to stir the pot, the police arrest Billy. Will he miss Lola’s final moments?
