The residents quickly spring into action to save those trapped inside of the pub, as Denise spots both Jack and Ravi behaving heroically.For those inside, an escape route isn’t clear and parts of the infrastructure begin to fall around them.
One of the residents confirmed to be facing a life or death situation is Sonia, whose waters break. Ambulances are unable to reach her, and only two traumatised neighbours are on hand to try and deliver her baby girl safely.

For one character, this is the end of the road.
