As Ben knocks back the booze and picks a fight with Vinny, has he gone too far?
As Kathy excitedly plans her Eurovision-themed birthday bash, she notices that Ben is strung out and exhausted and Callum begs him to slow down with work, but he's hell-bent on doing everything for Lola and Jay.
Meanwhile, despite being in terrible pain and exhausted, Lola soldiers on with work and after a difficult day, accepts she needs to stop working and breaks the news to Jay and Ben.
Knowing it'll be even more financially tough for them now, Ben agrees to do more overtime to cover their costs. As Ben works flat out to finish before Kathy's Eurovision birthday party, Jay drops in to explain he'll need to take Lexi as Lola is too tired to go.
Alone, Ben breaks down with exhaustion. When he turns up to the party, Ben is horrified he's forgotten to get Lexi. Struggling with Jay and Lola's annoyance, Ben knocks back the booze and then picks a fight with Vinny.
As fists are about to fly, Lola screams at Ben to stop and as his loved ones look at him in horror, he realises he's gone too far.
