The customers in The Dog in the Pond are horrified when Sam bursts in holding a lighter, having doused the pub in petrol. As they struggle to find a way out, Calvin attempts to save Sophie from Sam's clutches by smashing a glass on his head, causing him to drop the lighter and the pub to explode. Sam is killed after being crushed by rubble, having been left to die by Russ. Joe goes to save a trapped Olivia, but they are killed when the alcohol from behind the bar falls and causes a second explosion, and Zoe learns of Joe's death by calling his cellphone - tracing it to one of the body bags. Sophie dies in Russ's arms, and just as Justin learns of Mel's death, he finds Sophie's body. Also, Calvin temporarily puts his problems with the Deans behind him as he saves Jake from the fire.
