Episode 7843 (13th April 2012)

Plot
David has the salon locks changed. Leanne tells Ken about Peter stopping her from seeing Simon. Tommy thinks the van is sound but Tyrone and Kevin make jokes. Ken warns Peter that Simon can't be forced to love Carla and cutting Leanne out of his life will only make things worse. The van breaks down just as it gets going. Audrey isn't deterred by David's latest stunt and announces she'll fight the battle to the death. When she sees Mary's motor home, she comes up with an idea. Tyrone tells Tommy the van is a write-off. With Mary's permission, Audrey sets up a new salon in the motor home, with Rita as her first customer. Stella notices tension between Karl and Sunita and asks Sunita if Karl has been on at her. Sunita says there's nothing going on. Nick considers expanding and buying the unit next door to the bistro as business is good. Owen advises Peter that pain in the short-term is better than keeping up a charade long-term. He decides to stick to his guns. Trade suffers at the salon as loyal customers stick with Audrey. Kylie suggests they change the salon's image to attract a younger crowd. Ken feels sorry for Leanne and asks her over while he's looking after Simon. Sunita warns Karl that Stella can see something wrong. David erects an Under New Management sign at the salon.
