The feud between Daniel and Max escalates when pupil and teacher fall out again, only this time someone ends up unconscious at the bottom of a flight of stairs. Max is miffed with Mr O when he unwittingly forces David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) into reliving his traumatic past, and decides to seek revenge.
Breaking into his flat the tearaway teen is caught trashing the place when Daniel returns home, and when he throws the intruder out the door Maxy takes a tumble down the staircase and is rushed to hospital. The police investigate and Daniel insists it was an accident, but fuming David reckons he did it on purpose. The man’s got form, remember he did the same to Ken…?
