Further details

Disorientated and chained to a bed in a strange room, Paddy wakes to discover he can't remember where he is or how he got there.

Enter Maureen, the woman he's been secretly seeing ever since they met in the graveyard, and things seem to become a little clearer.

When Maureen refuses to release Paddy or provide him answers on what she plans to do, he becomes alarmingly worried. Is this all a sex game or something much more sinister?

A DSS investigation into the Gallaghers causes concern for Frank and Monica. Tensions arise between the two and when Frank's attempts to change the DSS inspector's mind fail. Frank desperately asks Monica to step in and win the DSS inspector back on side, but will he regret relying on Monica?

Meanwhile Carl's suspicions about Mickey's sexuality grow, so he sets out to test which gender he is really attracted to. Tom's last ditch romantic gesture to win Debbie back has detrimental effects and Carrie decides it's time for pastures new.
