Plot
Tracy decides to go to Blackpool with Amy on Sunday and invites Steve, knowing he'll have to cancel his plans with Becky and Max to get a rare chance to see his daughter. Bob Stephenson interviews Graeme and Xin separately. Ken and Deirdre attend their first lesson in pottery. Steve asks Lloyd for advice on how to cover his absence. He decides to pretend to be on a taxi ride to a funeral in Basingstoke for an elderly customer. Xin and Graeme struggle with their stories but make it through their interviews. Bob Stephenson says he'll be in touch. Deirdre excels at pottery but Ken isn't so good. Graeme is furious after seeing Tina flirt with Tommy and tells her he's been through the worst hour of his life. Mary discovers her motor home is gone. Steve tells Becky he'll be away on Sunday. She accepts his excuse. Ken doesn't like the pottery teacher Alex fawning over Deirdre's work and thinks he's a phoney. Graeme is worried he's done irreperable damage to his relationship with Tina.
