Episode 7146 (21st August 2009)

Plot
Joe's determined to make amends for his actions and rustles up a surprise breakfast for Gail. However, she's unimpressed and tells him that she's not sure she even wants to be with him anymore. Joe's crestfallen as he isn't in any state to be on his own.

Later, he helps Tina and Jason as they start sorting out the flat. David goes for a nosey around their new flat on the pretext of helping Joe carry heavy objects up the stairs. However, neither Joe nor David notice Tina's bracelet drop to the floor.

When Tina discovers that her bracelet missing she assumes that David's stolen it when Joe admits that he was in the flat. She and Jason storm around to No.8 and confronts him. David protests his innocence but nobody believes him. Furious to have been falsely accused of something he didn't do, David forces his way into Tina's new flat when Tina's alone and corners her.

Steve and Becky distribute the photos of Slug to all the local taxi drivers. Steve gets a call from Eddie claiming that he's spotted Slug going into The Flying Horse. With that, Steve and Becky set off to try and track him down.

Meanwhile, Tyrone asks Molly why she hasn't been running since they returned from holiday and accuses her of being chicken. Molly's evasive and the arrival of Jack and Connie saves her from further explanation.

Elsewhere, Deirdre moans to Joe that she's been made redundant from the council; and Lloyd begs Liz to reconsider and tells her he loves her.
