Episode 7155 (4th September 2009)

Plot
Kevin's surprise dinner party is underway but it quickly turns into the night from hell as all three couples - the Websters, the Dobbs and the Peacocks - use the evening to vent their frustrations over their marriages.

An inebriated Claire snipes at Ashley over his non-vasectomy, while Sally constantly makes jokes at Kevin's expense. Unable to bear the tension, Molly finally snaps and accuses Sally of being downright nasty toward Kevin. Tyrone's stunned by his wife's increasingly irrational behaviour but Kevin knows what's behind it. Holding his breath, Kevin waits to see if Molly is about to reveal all about their affair.

Later, when Claire and Ashley return home, Claire tells Ashley that she's banning sex with immediate effect.

Meanwhile, as a frantic Steve searches for Becky, she phones the Croppers to say goodbye. Realising that she's about to do a runner Roy correctly guesses that she's at the coach station and Steve races down there.

But as he arrives, he spots Becky boarding a bus. Steve pleads with her to return home, insisting that by leaving, she'll break his heart. Becky agrees not to leave.

In the pub, Peter chats up an attractive woman called Naomi. All's going well until he overhears Janice on the phone to Leanne.

Elsewhere, Jack's in a sombre mood as he celebrates Vera's birthday by pouring her a sherry.
