A surveyor assesses Number 5, making Mandy and Aidan nervous. Ian buys a pram. Nigel and Debbie are all loved up. He promises to make a meal for them all as Debbie plans to go back to her flat and collect the rest of her and Clare's belongings. Christine returns to find Arthur and learns he has gone. She cannot believe he would go without telling her and waits around for him at the Vic. Sharon asks Kathy if she will be telling Ian about Tricky Dicky - she does not know what to do. Mark finds Christine at the Vic and tells her Arthur has gone and she is lurking around "like a bad smell". She is insulted by his words and assures him his father will not be impressed with what he has said to her before leaving. Kathy decides she has to tell Ian the truth - he does not like what he hears. Frank puts £100 on "Freida" and also puts £100 on for Sanjay. Sanjay takes Delilah over to the start line but is caught out by Dan, a fellow dog racer, who realises that the dog he has brought for the race is not Frieda. Grant, Frank and Sanjay are forced to flee the races, with Frank now £200 down. Cindy returns from a shopping day with Gita and Meena to find Ian sat in the dark. He confronts her over Tricky Dicky's claims. She is in disbelief and gets upset. He quickly apologises and they make up. Debbie returns to the flat in a distressed state. Liam follows from behind. She tells Nigel that Liam is threatening to take Clare away from her if he leaves her. An enraged Nigel proceeds to brawl with Liam as Debbie helplessly screams. Liam overpowers Nigel and pours wine on his face, warning him to leave his family alone. He grabs Debbie tight and drags her away as Nigel crumbles. |
