Max went off on a trip to France with his brother Jack (Scott Maslen) last month on the BBC One soap. But while Jack is now back in Albert Square, Max has remained abroad. And after Rainie finds the picture of Max with a new woman on Jack's phone, she fears the worst...

Left in charge of Max's business interests at the car lot and restaurant Walford East while he's gone, Rainie's feeling the pressure and considers hitting the bottle to drown her sorrows...

On Tuesday 12 March, brother-in-law Jack is not impressed when he suspects recovering addict Rainie has started boozing again. Rainie insists she didn't actually touch the drink but Jack insists she attend a Narcotics Anonymous meeting anyway.
