Dave told her that she'd put him in a very awkward position but she argued that he must have thought about doing something like this to Pete. When she mentions Josh, Dave tells her that this fire had nothing to do with Josh. Eileen broke down. She asked Dave if he would go to the police. He told her that he didn't know what to do. Lucy interrupted them to ask them both for help in the pub before Dave could make up his mind. Lucy told Dave to go; she could take care of her mum now. As Dave left, Eileen thanked him.

He wanted commitment not some fly by night relationship – he popped the question. Chrissy was beside herself – she couldn't contact Melanie and Gary hadn't touched her in weeks. He said he was tired from working so much and he still wanted her. They had make-up sex. Melanie wouldn't speak to her mum but told her father she was at Lewis's place and wouldn't be back. Chrissy plotted so Gary or Myra couldn't attend Chloe's ‘scan' at the hospital. Denise snuck off to meet a mystery man, Caleb. Apparently they meet every year on the same day to commemorate an event but he had missed the previous two…?
