Plot
Michelle reveals that she snatched the contract from Frank's briefcase while he was on the phone. Dennis surprises Rita with an engagement party at the bistro. Lewis collects his wages but doesn't speak to Audrey. Eileen reassures Paul that putting Lesley in a home isn't giving up on her. The police question Kevin about his work on Frank's car. Sally wonders why. Peter tells Simon he's coming home and is hurt when Simon says he doesn't want to live with him again as he's the worst dad in the world. The party-goers discuss where they were when JFK died. Dennis remembers he was with Rita at the Orinoco and makes a speech about how lucky he feels marrying her. Carla realises having the contract will count against her and burns it. Peter sees her and is angry as she denied having it earlier. Audrey calls at Lewis's bedsit and tells him she loves him and she doesn't want him to go. They kiss. Carla and Peter have a frank discussion. Carla thinks she's going to prison as she's the only real suspect. Peter goes to the police station and confesses to killing Frank.
