Peter's furious with his father for the way he's treating Deirdre and berates him for being a coward as he sets off for his new life on Martha's barge. At the canal, Martha's delighted that he's chosen her as opposed to Deirdre and over lunch she excitedly plans their new life together. However as the barge moves off Martha discovers Ken has disembarked, having changed his mind at the last minute.

Armed with Roy's card and the password for the cash and carry which he stole from Anna's purse, Eddie stocks up on cheap booze, paying for it all on Roy's account. He tells a trusting Anna that the drink was a present from a satisfied customer.

Tara enjoys winding Dev up by telling him that Justin has taken some nude pictures of her for an art installation, which he plans to display on the Victoria Court flats.
