It's the day of Archie and Ewan's funeral. Malcolm comforts Liz, assuring her that although Archie has gone, she still has a family that care about her. Liz just wants to be on her own, so Malcolm heads to the pub with Gina and Eileen. As he heads home from the pub Malcolm spots Amber alone, near where Ewan died, and goes over to check she's all right. He then begins to feel guilty as Amber speaks to him about how everyone in her life has lied to her, and thanks Malcolm for being the only one to tell her the truth. Amber then asks Malcolm to come to Ewan's funeral; he agrees, feeling guilty as he sees the pain Amber is in, believing that Lenny murdered Ewan. Malcolm returns home where he explains to Liz that he's going to Ewan's funeral and a supportive Liz agrees it's a good idea. Lydia confides in Father Mulvaney that she's concerned about Amber, and he tries to explain to her that Amber just needs time.

When Lenny turns up at the funeral Malcolm is ashamed and looks away, unable to handle looking at the man he knows he has put in prison. Malcolm grows guiltier as he watches Amber refusing to listen to Lenny's claims that he is innocent. His resolve is then shaken to the core when he sees Lenny breaking down at Ewan's grave after the funeral.

Later, as Malcolm listens to Amber talking in the pub about how much she hates Lenny he can't take anymore and walks out, deciding to tell the police everything. However, Lydia is ready for him and makes him realise he has an impossible decision to make: if he tells the truth then either the police or Lenny will come after him, but if he lies then Amber will continue to suffer, believing her father killed Ewan. This leaves Malcolm feeling broken, scared and not knowing what to do, but eventually he agrees to stay quiet.

Meanwhile the Mullens are delighted that Molly has finally gone, and Bob can't bring himself to listen, knowing that Molly hasn't gone as far as everyone thinks. Deek warns Bob that it's only going to be a matter of time before everyone finds out he's putting Molly up at their flat and makes it clear that he wants Molly out as soon as possible - he can't forgive her for what she did to Stella. Realising she is in trouble, Molly turns on the charm with Bob and convinces him to let her stay. Deek can't believe Bob has been taken in by her, after everything she's done. However, when Bob points out that perhaps Deek should share some responsibility for Stella leaving, Deek reluctantly realises he might have a point. Following a conversation with Raymond he decides to try and find Stella to put things right, hoping that Murray might be able to help out with contacts in homeless shelters to try and find her. A truce is called between Deek and Molly: Deek agrees to be nice to her, as long as she starts looking for her own place.

Raymond is anxious to get things moving with the fostering and asks Eileen if she has arranged a reference for herself with Gina. Clearly affected by the funeral, Eileen doesn't want to talk about it and tries to put him off. Raymond then grabs a chance to ask Gina himself, and is surprised when he realises Eileen hasn't even spoken to her about it. When Gina leaves to visit Liz, Eileen decides to stay in the pub, so Gina warns Raymond to keep an eye on a tipsy Eileen.

It soon becomes clear that Eileen has had enough to drink and Raymond realises the funeral (including Ewan's) has brought back memories of Kirsty, and also cast up doubts about if the fostering is a good idea. Raymond takes her upstairs to sober up. Deciding that Eileen needs to lie down for a while to clear her head, a concerned Raymond takes her to the bedroom. Eileen makes a move to kiss him and, although he initially pulls back, Raymond is unable to resist....Later that afternoon, while Raymond is feeling delighted with himself, it becomes clear that Eileen still sees him as a friend. But it does seem that the afternoon has had some affect on her and she tells a delighted Raymond that she wants to go ahead with the fostering. A concerned Jimmy watches on, suspicious that his friend is falling for Eileen again, and worried that he's going to get hurt all over again. Show less
