Episode 7081 (22nd May 2009)

Plot
Maria covers for Fiz when Chesney quizzes her about her hospital appointment. But when he secretly phones the home schooling network and discovers that Fiz is lying about her meeting that afternoon, Chesney's more suspicious than ever - he's completely unaware that Fiz regularly visits John in prison.

Seeing John beaten up, Fiz cries tears of pity, admitting she still loves him. It's an emotional awakening for the couple but as Fiz leaves the prison, she's confronted by Chesney who's followed her there.

Julie and Jason are sorting through Colin's belongings when Paula calls around. Julie's disgusted with her mum and blames her for Colin's death. Paula tries to defend her actions, though, saying that she went to the police because she wanted justice.

Eileen, meanwhile, struggles with her emotions, unsure of what to feel after the death of her father.

Natasha's hurt when she finds out that Tony lied to her about his business meeting when, instead, he was actually building a cot for Maria. She accuses him of preferring to spend time with Maria rather than her, but Tony eases her fears by claiming that he only feels pity for the mother-to-be.

Ryan convinces Michelle that she must go on tour with the band and that he'll be fine staying at Phil's. Meanwhile, Sian worries that Ryan's gone off her.
