Police are swarming Hollyoaks following Warren’s escape from prison and his face is everywhere.

Dave is lurking with a gun and it seems that the net might be closing in on him. However, when Ethan and Vicky bump into him, he acts like nothing is going on.

Warren confirms the plan with Donny and Ste – he will go to the meeting point to exchange Misbah and bring him face to face with his nemesis Blue.

Grace meets Donny and wants to know where Warren is. She doesn’t trust him to show up – and she’s right to be worried.

Mercedes tells Warren that he has to break his deal with Donny and instead leave with her and the twins.

At the hotel, Misbah tries to get into her captor Rex’s head as she reasons with him, insisting there is another way. She thinks she has broken through, but instead Rex tells Misbah they are moving location for the meet.

Meanwhile, Cleo pretends to Abe she is sorry about the night before. Once he has left for work she packs a bag and prepares to flee.

Cleo waits at the village bus stop and Joel is concerned about what is wrong. Abe arrives and confronts her, but she escapes on the bus with the help of Prince.

Cleo calls Mercedes and begs her for help. On the edge of the village, Mercedes and Warren believe they are heading off for a fresh start but having picked up Cleo’s message, they delay at the woods to wait for her.

Switching buses, Abe catches up with Cleo. She flags down Dave on his bike and asks him take her to Warren and Mercedes. With Dave delighted to be led to Warren, they flee the scene.

Elsewhere, James gets ready to go to his hospital appointment. Ste confronts James at the flat and James tells him he thinks he has a brain tumour.
