At the cafe, Teddy confronts Stevie and tells him to stop lying. Phil overhears a secret conversation between them and asks his lawyer Ritchie to look into it. At The Vic, Billy gives a heartfelt speech about his father and mother, sending good wishes to his missing mother. But Phil arrives and shows Stevie some evidence that Ritchie found, which isn’t good.
Stevie confesses to Billy that his mother has passed away, leaving Billy shocked. Stevie then shares the tragic story of Val’s death with Billy and Teddy before making a big decision.
