Who kills Max Branning?

What causes Max to lose it?
"Max has lost all perspective by this point. He's trying to regain some control. For Max, a big thing in his life is being in control. He's very uncomfortable otherwise. With Lauren, though, he takes it a little bit too far. She refuses to say goodbye to him before moving to France with Jack and Tanya. It's when he sees her saying goodbye to Peter that he loses it. He grabs her by the wrist and then Peter. It's really difficult for him to come to terms with his kids moving away."
How does he try and get revenge on Jack and Tanya?
"Basically, Max is trying to set up Jack for trying to kill him. Because Jack's fingerprints are all over the gun, he lures Jack around to the house. He later ransacks the house, tipping over all the furniture to make it look like there was a struggle and when the police turn up, they find a bullet hole in the wall."
What happens next?
"Jack gains access to the gun in a great twist to the storyline and suddenly the tables are turned quite dramatically. I don't want to give it all away, but Jack bundles Max into a car which leads to a showdown between the brothers in a remote location. Max manages to escape and make it back to the Square. He shares a tender moment with Tanya and he finally realises what he's done to his family. He goes back to Suzy's to find Abi waiting for him with the news that Jack wants them to leave straightaway. He accepts that they are going and wants to put things straight with Jack and Tanya. On his way to give them his blessing he is mowed down and left for dead.
