Episode 7289 (8th March 2010)

Plot
When Peter arrives at George and Eve's house to take Simon to school, he's furious to hear that Eve's already gone with him. Peter insists he'll collect him from the school gate later that afternoon but when he turns up and realises that George already has him, Peter's had enough and demands to know what he's playing at.

Calling at Peter's flat without Simon, George states that he's keeping hold of Simon until he deems Peter fit enough to look after him.

Meanwhile, speculation's rife about Gail's visit to the police station. Tina's confused by the recent turn of events but she's pacified when David insists they're just covering all angles.

Nick's also back on the Street, having received Gail's pleas for support. Nick's worried about his mother's story but when the police call to inform them Joe's body is to be released, it looks like Gail may be in the clear. A relieved Gail turns to Tina for help as the two grieving women plan Joe's funeral.

Elsewhere, Carla's amused when Trevor finally realises that she's Underworld's boss - not the cleaner! - and agrees to a drink with him. She's less than impressed, though, when Nick turns up asking her to reconsider his offer to buy into the business.

Also, when John helps Chesney with his homework, he realises just how much he misses teaching.
