Episode 6789 (4th April 2008)

Plot
David is horrified as Gail pieces together what happened - she has remembered the vicious row with him and she knows he was responsible for her fall. As a scared and angry David tries to convince her she’s wrong as he was with Tina, a stunned Gail realises Tina must have lied for him as well. David storms out to meet his girlfriend, who tells him she can't take it any more - they're over. David's distraught and warns her that she's the only thing keeping him going - he doesn't know what he'll do if she leaves him. As he arrives home to Audrey and Gail's accusations and continues to deny pushing her down the stairs, he's upset when Audrey packs a bag for Gail claiming she doesn't want to leave her in the house with him. As David's left alone to fester, it's clear he's on the verge of a breakdown.

Steve realises Michelle is upset that Nick is spending time with Ryan when she can't see Alex, and decides to seek out a reluctant Alex. Steve admits that although he found him a bit of a pain - Michelle really wants to see him and cutting off contact with her just because he was told he couldn’t live with them permanently was a mistake.

Elsewhere, Liz is annoyed when Vernon and his builder/musician friends get a gig on a cruise for six months and decide to leave without completing the smoking shelter.
