Episode 7654 (25th July 2011)

Plot
Frightened Izzy tells Gary she doesn't need a protector and prefers to face the world. Refusing to let her leave the flat, Gary puts the shutters down and locks the door. Sean lets Julie take Dylan to the reading group. Steve isn't happy about Becky meeting someone so soon. Gary tries to calm Izzy by saying they can spend more time together this way. Izzy tries to reason with him but he's determined not to let her down like he let Quinny down. Tracy offers a vulnerable Steve her sympathies. A woman assumes Dylan is Julie's son. Excited at the idea of having a son, Julie doesn't correct her. She's amazed when Brian Packham turns out to be in charge as a substitute. Chesney and Katy call on Izzy but can't get an answer. Izzy knows Katy was at the door as she heard her voice. Gary goes beserk, treating the flat like an Army stronghold. Brian also mistakenly believes Dylan is Julie's son. Julie thinks she's blown her last chance with him. Owen turns up at Izzy's flat and breaks the door down. He finds Gary shielding Izzy. Realising what he's done, Gary begs Owen to help him.
