Jamie drives Les, Cilla and Kirk to the tip to try and get back his old furniture. It's a Sunday, and the tip is locked up, but Les breaks in.

Mike and Dev complain to Kevin about the Oakhill School bus parked on the street. Kevin feels the school is taking liberties. Fred urges Ashley to talk to Claire and sort things out. Maria chats to Claire about her reasons for turning Ashley down. Fred tries to persuade Claire to talk to Ashley. Penny is not happy when Tracy asks her why she has got cold feet about her business venture with Ciaran. Tracy asks if Mike has tried to talk her out of it.

Dev takes her upstairs to the flat for a rest and Sunita tells him her health worries. Dev assures Sunita he will always be there for her. Maya is jealous. When Dev returns, she tells him to close the shop early so they can spend some time together. Les asks Steve for his old job back. Steve agrees as long as Les does all the night shifts.
