Jules agrees to move up to Norwich, so Etta gives him time to pack by heading up with Hattie's bags and then returning to collect him. Nigel talks with Debbie about transferring Clare to a more local school. Phil shows Kathy proof he has bought Frank's share of the café. She is disappointed he did not consult her before buying into it. Ricky reads an outstanding payment statement on the car lot, and asks Frank about it, who gets defensive and insists it is a simple cash flow problem. Mark runs into trouble whilst applying for an application for a loan as he has to declare his medical history. Shelley suggests he lies. Carol catches Bianca talking to David, and tells her she does not want her having anything to do with him. Frank pulls Phil out of the Vic and asks him to torch the car lot. Phil tells Frank the action he is taking is a bit drastic and he should consider other options first. Etta returns to collect Jules but cannot find him anywhere. She eventually heads to Number 45 where he is playing cards with Nellie and starts to realise he does not want to leave. Sanjay decides he is going to scare Della to make her more subservient, but his approach does not go to plan, as Della tells him she will give him some space and return to work tomorrow. Etta accepts Jules' decision to continue living at Number 27 and leaves. Tricky Dicky heads out in his car so Bianca, Natalie and Robbie head into the flat. However, before they can leave again, Tricky Dicky returns. The trio manage to get out without being caught as Tricky Dicky talks to Nigel, who is considering applying for a job at the video shop on Turpin Road. Frank burns the outstanding payment statement. Carol visits Pat and tells her that David is Bianca's father. Frank is adamant he wants the car lot burnt down as he is out of options; Phil ultimately agrees to go through with the plan. |
