Episode 8279 (16th December 2013)

Plot
Peter and Carla return from honeymoon in Bali, to a warm welcome from Rob. Kylie returns home the worse for wear after an all-night bender and to harsh words from Gail who's tired of her self-pitying attitude. Eileen also returns from a trip away to find the house in a tip and Julie in bits over Brian. Nick has changed his mind about Kal's suggestion of a personal trainer and takes up the offer but he is still cold to Gail. Tina tries to talk to Peter but he avoids discussion with her. Rita is getting increasingly annoyed with Gloria consorting with Dennis. At the same time, Tina is getting increasingly desperate to speak with Peter and she repeatedly texts him. Gail returns home to find the house in a tip and gives Kylie more harsh words. When a downcast and guilt- riddled Brian spots Julie he asks if she’s okay but she tells him to leave her alone. Leanne is annoyed to hear about the gig but promises she'll think about it. At the end of her tether, Gail summons the family for a conference at 6.00pm. Roy's driving lessons aren't going well and he's getting stressed about the test, wanting to pass first time. Tina overhears that Peter is at his flat with supposed jetlag while Carla is at the factory. She calls round there and is at a loss when Carla answers her repeated knocks.
