Molly is on the phone to her Dad informing him that her and baby Jack will be with him later that night. Ty hears the conversation and tells her he won’t let her go. She says that she’s sorry, but she has to go.

Ty goes to the corner shop and buys a bottle of Whiskey when Sally comes in. She blabbers on about Christmas dinner and says that she understands them not coming for dinner, but they can always go for a couple of hours in the afternoon to see everyone. Ty says no and Sally suggests that she goes and talks to Molly about it.

Ty tells her not to as Molly’s leaving him, taking baby Jack away with her too...all because she doesn’t love him. He then storms out the door leaving a confused and shocked Sally behind him.

The family are having dinner and Sally is talking about Ty and Molly splitting. She comments on how you don’t really know what goes on in people’s marriages, and Sophie says that she doesn’t want to. Double R says that it’s not like someone else would fancy Molly, and Sally turns to Kevin asking if he knows more than he’s letting on.

Kevin goes on the defensive, but Sally simply says that because he works with Ty he might know something else. Sian says that maybe Molly’s said something and that’s why they’re splitting as that’s what her parents did. Sophie pipes in with: “Yeah, until they separated”, and giggles at her girlfriend’s response.

Sophie turns to her mum and notices that she wants to go over to Ty and Molly’s. Double R comments: “Oh look at her, she’s dying to go”. Kevin goes all Alpha Male and tells them that no-one’s going over. Sally turns to him and argues if that’s an order. Kevin simply says that she should know the last thing they will want is an audience.

Molly’s almost finished packing to leave and Ty gets upset. He begs her to stay and tells her that she can have her affair with whoever it is and they can go away as often as they like together, he’ll just stay at home and look after Jack. She says no. He then says that if she doesn’t love him, take pity on him. She tells him that that’s what she’s been doing. Ty looks absolutely crushed by her confession.

Molly’s all packed up and ready with baby Jack in his pram. They go to leave out the front door, but Ty jumps in front of her and says he won’t let her go. She goes to move backwards to leave through the backdoor and Ty jumps behind her so she can’t leave there either.

Molly asks if he’s going to keep that up all night and he says yes, if he has to he will. He then says that fine, he’ll let her go, but she’s leaving Jack with him: “He’s my son”. Ooooooooh, it’s all going to come out now, isn’t it??

Molly tells him that if he doesn’t let her leave she’s going to call the police. Ty says that she can go and he won’t stop her but he’s not letting her take Jack with her. “He’s my flesh and blood [...] he’s all I’ve got left.” Molly tells him the devastating news that we’ve known for weeks: he’s not your son. Aw no!
