Dev has spent the night in casualty as a result of his fight with Joe. Sunita fusses round him making sure he's okay. Roy and Hayley are appalled to read that there has been a planning application to turn Sally's old shop into an amusement archade. Sarah invites Aidan round to watch some videos. To Sarah's annoyance Candice invites herself along too. Joe tries to apologise to Geena but she doesn't want to talk to him. The local are up in arms about the Council wasting £500 on Toyah's art exhibit "Les's Chair". Les is still very offended especially when he reads an article in the Gazette calling it a "Layabout's Chair". Toyah offers him half of her prize money £250 to try and win him round but he tells her to shove it. Mike returns from Scotland to be told by Joe that he's had a fight with Dev. Vik picks up a jockey who gives him a tip. The horse comes in first but unfortunately Vik didn't place a bet. The Police turn up looking for Joe. Dev is trying to bring an assault charge.
