Today's Hollyoaks is a two-parter, filled with tears, fears, and one turbo charged Mercedes. In the first clip, Michaela is finishing up her Kieron article, and e-mails it to the newspaper editor, as Mercedes and John Paul are having a heart to heart about why he always seems to pick men he can't have (and say what you will about his sister, but her advice is pretty sensible). Michaela comes in at the tail end of the conversation (again!), and J.P. tells her to butt out with the curious insult "nose disease". Before leaving, Michaela tells Mercedes that she knows about J.P. and Kieron, and informs her stunned sister (mistakenly) that Kieron is also having sex with Kris.

J.P. is feeling guilty about picking on his sister, and asks her forgiveness, which finally opens Michaela's eyes to the fact that maybe what she did was wrong, and she frantically tries to get her article back before it's published. Meanwhile, Mercedes is on the rampage, as she confronts Kieron about sleeping with Kris, and the clip ends with..well, let's just say Mercedes has a mean right hook

You can see part two, which features an emotional reunion, after the break
