Episode 7050 (10th April 2009)

Plot
Joe's laid-up on the sofa and Gail's enjoying fussing round him. Tina's shocked to find out that he's done his back in but even more so when he admits he loves Gail and doesn't want to move out anyway. Tina's unimpressed, sensing he's taking the easy option.

Len, meanwhile, has heard that Joe's incapacitated and tells Gary that he wants him to fit some kitchens. Joe's unimpressed by Len's interference, especially when Gail arrives with Jason, who's only too happy to take on the work. As the group thrash it out, David walks back in from staying at his dad Martin's. He's unimpressed to find Gail, Joe, Tina, Gary and Jason in cahoots.

Peter brings Simon home from hospital. He takes him round to the Barlows' to see Leanne the rabbit in his new hutch. But Peter's got more making up to do and as he apologises to Michelle for their disastrous date, he asks her if she'll give him a second chance. Michelle’s non-committal and Peter's left frustrated.

Norris wants Sophie to mop the Kabin floor as her penance for stealing all those years ago. Rita tells Sophie she doesn't have to bother but she's happy to do her punishment. Meanwhile, Mary suggests to Norris that they go travelling round Peru, but he's more in favour of the Lake District.

Elsewhere, Molly looks over the garage accounts, much to Sally's annoyance; and Anna talks Roy into giving her a job in the café - Roy has no choice.
