Episode 7130 (30th July 2009)

Plot
Joe's suffering from withdrawal symptoms but he tries to mask his desperation in front of Gail.

Desperate to acquire the money for the pills, he sells his jigsaw to Bill for £50, but Bill only has £20 on him. Joe gives the money to David and promises to get him the rest by the end of the day. But with no way of getting his hands on the cash, Joe takes £50 out of Gail's purse. When Gail returns and finds the cash missing from her purse, she accuses David of stealing. David's furious and forces Joe to come clean. Joe makes out that he's simply borrowed the cash for materials.

David delivers half the painkillers to Joe, insisting that he can have the other half when he persuades Tina to start being nice to him again.

As she writes the guest list for her wedding, Becky finds it lacking and decides to invite Jim as a surprise for Steve. On a roll, she also enters a competition to win a dream honeymoon.

Meanwhile, Freda leaves and Emily and Norris wave her off. Emily shows Ramsay some holiday slides of her and Ernest in the Lake District. Norris blunders in and interrupts them. Rita suggests to Norris that Emily and Ramsay might have feelings for each other, but Norris is appalled at such a thought.

Chesney hunts for the receipt for his trainers so he can take them back. He's shocked when he finds an engagement ring in Fiz's coat pocket. Telling Fiz he couldn't find the receipt, Fiz panics when she discovers her engagement ring is missing.

Elsewhere, Bill agrees to give Jason a mortgage reference saying that he's in full-time employment.
