Episode 7214 (23rd November 2009)

Plot
Having handed baby Liam over to Helen, Maria's convinced herself that she's not fit to be a mother - she's a broken woman who can't forgive herself for inviting a murderer into her home. Desperate to help, the Connors suggest that she move to Ireland with them.

At first, Maria refuses but when Audrey urges her to pull herself together for Liam's sake, she agrees. Helen's relieved as Maria takes baby Liam back in her arms but their relief is short-lived when a surprise visitor turns up - it's Carla!

Audrey's shocked to see a 'For Sale' board outside No. 8 and is further surprised when Gail reveals that she and Joe are engaged. Audrey warns her that she's making a mistake but Gail's adamant that she knows what she's doing. Gail, however, has no idea what she's got herself into and when Rick turns up masquerading as a potential buyer, Joe panics.

Meanwhile, when Sally tells Kevin that she wants to go over the garage accounts, he panics as he's worried she'll spot his motel expenses and the decrease in breakdown call-outs.

Elsewhere, after a successful golf lesson with club pro Bernie, Dev tries his luck and asks her out for a drink.
