Plot
David returns home to find Tina and Audrey rowing. Covering his panic about what has been said, he confronts Audrey about bullying his girlfriend. Gail is fuming when David tells her Audrey was accusing Tina of being a liar and demands that Audrey stop interfering. However, Audrey is more suspicious than ever and decides to keep her mouth shut and her eyes open. Meanwhile, Eileen is still worried that Jason is the number one suspect for Gail’s attack and is disheartened when David won’t let her speak to Gail claiming she’s asleep. As David’s lies get more elaborate, Tina gets more upset - she hates the lies and doesn’t know how much longer she can keep it up.

Leanne hesitantly reveals her plan to Paul she thinks they can both recoup their money with an insurance claim if they burnt down the restaurant. Leanne tells Paul she wants them both to pay their debts and move on to their next venture together, but plastering on a dejected expression, claims she hasn't got the bottle to torch the place. As predicted Paul offers to burn it for her, he tells her he'd do anything for her and moves in for a kiss. Leanne manages to dodge the kiss, but it's clear she has Paul wrapped around her little finger as he agrees to burn the restaurant down on Monday! Delighted she’s managed to pull it off, Leanne tells Dan the good news. Despite Leanne's assurances that she can deal with it - Dan's worried about what she's getting herself into.

Fiz and Maria have persuaded Kirk to go to Cyprus. However, Maria’s upset when Fiz comments that she doesn’t think she’ll have changed her mind about asking Kirk to move out when he returns.

Vernon is annoyed that his friends haven't made any progress on the smoking shelter, and Blanche is furious about the noise pollution and mess and enquires about whether they have planning permission. Liz tries to appease Blanche but she's having none of it and cheekily suggests that as a gesture of goodwill Liz should get the builders to fix the Barlows' shed!

Elsewhere, Bill and Jason celebrate their new 6 month contract with the building developers.
