Later, Nigel discovers Lexi reading one of the letters Phil wrote before he tried to take his own life. But in a confused state, Nigel confuses Lexi for his daughter Clare, which leads her to believe that Phil is dead.

A distressed Lexi asks Honey and Billy if Phil is dead, so Billy marches to No.55 to confront Nigel. Honey and Sharon find Billy at the Boxing Den and explain that Callum is going to tell Lexi the truth about her grandad.

Linda comforts Nigel, while Billy apologises to Callum and Lexi in the café. The five characters then head to Phil’s mental health unit together to pay him a visit. Will they find him?
