Episode 6702 (7th December 2007)

Plot
David is delighted that tensions are high between Sarah and Jason as she refuses to believe he didn’t send the messages to Becky. Pleased his plan is working, he decides to stir things up even more and sends another provocative message from Becky’s phone.

When Jason receives the message Sarah's furious to see it's from Becky and storms into the café to sort her out once and for all. A cat fight between the two girls ensues. As Becky swears that she didn't send the messages and lost her phone days ago, Jason realises who's behind it.

He arrives in the salon to explain everything to a sceptical Sarah, and when David arrives in the salon, Jason rings Becky's phone and Sarah's furious to hear it ringing in David's pocket.

After seeing the same car following him on the way to school again, Ryan feels nervous and heads back to the pub telling Michelle he’s ill. Dismissing his complaints as an attempt to skive, Michelle sends him back to school but is puzzled when she gets a concerned phone call from his teacher informing her that he’s been leaving early and arriving late. After confronting Ryan he admits to his mum that he thinks he’s being followed.

Kirk gives Liam some fatherly advice. Maria’s touched when she discovers that Kirk has approached Liam (dressed in a suit!) to speak to him about his intentions towards his sister.

Elsewhere, the bookies clamp Lloyd’s car after he fails to repay his debt.
