With relations between Jack and Kevin still strained, Jack is furious when Kevin grounds him. Tyrone meanwhile wants to bury the hatchet but will Kevin agree? In the Rovers Glenda is unsure about serving Kevin but he snaps at her before rounding on Tyrone when he arrives. When Tyrone labels him nasty and selfish, Kevin sees red. Abi is furious when she realises how Kevin has been behaving and shocked when he verbally lashes out at her making some very cruel remarks. In the garage Abi and Tyrone discuss Kevin’s appalling behaviour and how he seems to be going out of his way to make them hate him. Tyrone calls at No.13 and urges Kevin to stop bottling up his fears, to talk to Abi and to start appreciating his family and friends.
