  Summary

  When Stuart Highway double-crosses Phil Mitchell, landing Jay Brown in prison and placing his own brother in the crossfire, revenge is the only option left as the Mitchell patriarch enlists Ben to clean up the mess. Desperate to impress his dad and prevent a civil war breaking out in Walford, Ben kidnaps Callum and forces him to reluctantly share the burden of their families' addiction to crime and one-upping each other.
