Suzanne sneaks into the house to get some things, but Frankie spots her. Frankie tells her mom that she knows she stole her phone. When Suzanne denies it, Frankie asks her if she is going to choose JJ over her.

Suzanne says she has no choice as JJ is her son. Frankie yells at Suzanne that she should be doing right by her. Jack arrives at the end of the chaos and asks Darren what is going on, but he won’t tell him.

Jeremy hands invitations to Liberty and Sienna and says there is also one for Dilly. He says that August 20th is a hard day for him, so every year on that day, he likes to do something nice with people he cares about. The invitation is for them to come to the allotment at 1 pm.

Dilly reveals to Prince’s family that he had an affair with Zoe, and she is pregnant. Everyone is shocked, but Dilly is the most surprised when Sally tells her to leave. Sally tells Dilly that she has a right to be upset about Prince cheating, but it isn’t okay for her to humiliate him in front of his family like this.

After Dilly leaves, John Paul asks Prince if Hunter knew, and he admits that he told him the night he died. Sally says Goldie will be heartbroken, but he needs to tell her, and Prince is handed the phone.

Liberty and Sienna are doing yoga together when Liberty says she noticed Jeremy looking odd when he left. Sienna’s phone rings, and they can hear Martha arguing with someone before it’s disconnected.

At the nursing home, Martha fights off the nurse who is trying to sedate her. Instead, she manages to get the syringe and injects the nurse. Martha says she needs to save her granddaughters before her son kills them and runs off.

At the allotment, Jeremy digs three graves and covers them with planters. Each one has a labeled sign, “Hosta Liberty,” “Cordelia Rose,” and “Semporium Sienna.”

Prince tells Dilly he wants to be involved in the baby’s life, especially now that his family knows, and that asking him to stay away isn’t right. She tells her sister about Prince’s affair, the baby, and how she might lose him.

Dilly wants to work things out, so Liberty tells her that if she wants a future with him, she needs to realise he is a package deal now. She advises Dilly to prove that she loves him and wants to fight to be together.

Jack tells Nancy that Darren wouldn’t tell him what was going on. He says that everyone is always fighting, and he’s had enough. Jack notes that nothing has been the same since Suzanne and the twins showed up.

Nancy isn’t sure love is enough for her and Jack to survive this. Jack says he’s not having his family torn apart, and he’s going to go sort this mess out.

Freddie gossips to Kitty at the Dog that he overheard some drama with the McQueens. He complains to Kitty about Grace, telling her details about how she leaves teabags on a spoon next to the sink instead of binning them and how she stomps everywhere.

Kitty says she wants to avoid the psychopath. Zoe comes in and asks Kitty how Beau is doing rotting in jail. Zoe says he deserves it for what he did to Declan and tells Kitty not to leave town as they need to have a serious chat later.

Freddie continues rambling about how Grace stomps everywhere, but Kitty is overwhelmed and feels like the walls are closing in on her. Kitty asks Freddie to watch the place until Tony and Diane return and runs out.

Prince tells Zoe that Dilly told his whole family about the baby, and he had to tell Goldie. He says his mom was heartbroken but glad the baby is a McQueen.

Prince says that it was wrong of Dilly to give him an ultimatum and that Hunter would be fuming but would want him to step up for the baby, and that’s what he’s going to do.

Darren surprises Frankie with a new phone. Jack returns and tells Darren that he needs to know what is going on. Darren says he knows that Nancy didn’t push Frankie, but he can’t say anything else.

Darren tells his dad he loves him and asks him to trust him. Jack says he does and will always be there for him, but Darren might be asking too much of Nancy and could lose her if he keeps pushing her away.

Dilly asks to meet with Prince, but he’s not wanting to make up. Dilly tells Prince that she owes him a huge apology for telling his family and giving him an ultimatum. She says she wants to welcome the baby into their lives and still wants to have a family with Prince. However, Prince tells her that they should break up.

Liberty shows up first at Jeremy’s, and he tells her that it’s the anniversary of the day he lost his children. Meanwhile, Sienna gets a text from Pearl that Martha is at her house, banging on the door.

Sienna rushes home and finds Martha in distress. Martha says she needs to see Jeremy and tell him the truth. “I need to find your father,” Martha says. Sienna reminds Martha that Patrick died. “Not Patrick…Jeremy! He is your real father, and I can prove it,” Martha tells her.


The next episode of Hollyoaks will be aired on Wednesday, August 20, 2024, at 7:30 PM on ITV. US viewers can watch the show on Britbox.
