Episode 7052 (12th April 2009)

Plot
Tensions are bubbling under as the Platts celebrate Easter and David decides to hide Joe's painkillers. Joe's frantically searching for them but when Tina arrives, David immediately 'finds' them in the hope of impressing her. Joe's left wondering if David took them in the first place but not wanting to make any more of a scene about his growing dependency, he keeps his suspicions to himself.

Audrey, however, has no such intentions and tells Joe exactly what she thinks of him, accusing him of sponging off Gail and simply using her. Gail's furious and throws Audrey out.

As it all kicks off, David presents Tina with an Easter egg with the details of a new flat hidden in the middle of it. Tina turns him down.

Peter, Simon, Deirdre and Blanche attend the Easter service at church, taking Leanne the rabbit along for the pet blessing. Ken's scathing about their Christian beliefs and tries to teach Simon the theory of humanism. But when Simon asks if his mother is in heaven, even Ken is silenced.

Meanwhile, Ken hears a radio advert for a play in which Martha is performing. He tells Ted that he might go along to see it. Ted warns him that it's a bad idea.

After the jibes about his age, Kevin challenges Tyrone to a race to prove that he's the fittest. Kevin easily wins and tells Jason that he wants to sign up for the 10k fun run. Molly signs up, too.

And Sophie tells Sally that she wants to get herself christened.
