“Lucas is furious about the horrific abuse that Dillon suffered at the hands of Clare and Grace,” our source explains, “and he wants justice for the damage they caused his boyfriend.

“Rage takes over and Lucas storms into Grace’s flat, desperate for a confession from her and Clare, and ends up destroying their home.”

As Lucas’s anger spirals out of control, the situation descends into chaos and other villagers arrive on the scene. Leela Dexter tries to hold Lucas back, but Dodger Savage is forced to step in and arrests him for his destructive actions.

Later, Donny Clark and Misbah Maalik try to bring their struggling family together by hosting a meal – but it’s clear that Vicky Grant and Dillon are still feeling the effects of the last few months.

The teens both lash out, angry that they can’t move on while Clare and Grace haven’t faced consequences for their actions.

“Donny realises how much pain Vicky and Dillon are in,” says our insider, “so he vows to take action. He is ready to fight for justice and begins by paying Tom a visit in prison.

“But meanwhile, Clare sets her sights on someone else, as she insists that Lucas should be punished for what he did to the flat. What does Clare have in mind, and should Lucas be scared?”

Grace, on the other hand, is still reeling from the revelation about her firstborn, so she begins making a list of her dad’s old contacts to try and track down her long-lost child.

But Clare isn’t willing to help and is more concerned with making dinner for her and Dodger. Does Clare know more than she’s admitting about Grace’s secret son?
