Grant and Sam leave Walford in dramatic EastEnders scenes
After taking the blame for torching the cars, Grant warned Max not to involve the police, insisting there would be a war if he did.
Lauren tried to smooth things over by getting Phil to pay for the damage, plus extra compensation. She then told Max the situation was sorted. But Cindy soon got involved and pushed Max not to let the Mitchells walk all over him.
Max then decided to call the police.
While Grant, Sam and Phil were enjoying a family roast dinner together, Mark rushed in with news that the police were on the Square.
Furious with her dad, Lauren stepped in to help Grant escape before the officers arrived.
As Grant packed in a panic, Sam suddenly decided she was leaving too. She booked herself on the flight to Portugal within seconds. But there was another problem when Grant realised he had forgotten his passport and had to return home.
Back at the house, Mark confronted Grant and the pair finally shared an emotional moment. Grant asking Mark to call him dad did not quite go to plan, but Mark did acknowledge everything Grant had done for him. It seemed there could finally be some understanding between them.
Sam then hurriedly said goodbye to Ricky through the car window. Lauren stalled the police and the distraction gave Grant enough time to jump in the car and race off to the airport.
