Jenny emerges from her drunk evening the night before with a hangover and a black eye, having slipped in the bath. Seb is exasperated with his attempts to have guardianship of the twins and asks Eileen to make a joint application with him so they can move into No.11. Eileen worries as to where it leaves Abi. Melinda rings Brian and asks him to come into school for a meeting. He worries as to what's in store. Tim shows an Estate Agent round No.4. Faye's concerned as to where they'll live.

Tim invites Gina to stay with him and Faye when they find somewhere to rent. He refuses to take Sally's call. Eileen visits Abi and tells her of Seb's plan. She angrily refuses to discuss the matter, thinking Seb is throwing away the best years of his life. Sally has her call with Gina, annoying Marcia for taking too much time.
