Plot
Sally corners Gail on her way to work saying she needs to talk. Tommy's suspicious. Sally tells Gail how Ian had an affair with his previous PA, Della. Gail advises her to stop seeing him and leave her job.

Sally finds a card from Ian. She shreds it just as Justine arrives at the garage. Justine visibly tenses when she sees a note saying Della has called in. Sally's paranoid and thinks Justine suspects her of having an affair with Ian. Sally tells Gail that the only way out of her predicament is to confess everything to Kevin and she goes in search of him.

Shelley's dreading her weigh-in as she's still a couple of pounds away from target. Charlie meanwhile lights some Valentine's fireworks at the yard for Shelley.

Meanwhile, the residents celebrate Valentine's Day. Cilla pays Chesney to lie for her. Chesney tells Les that the card Cilla received was from him. Les believes him. Les finds Chesney using Cilla's toothbrush to brush Schmeichel's teeth. Steve receives two valentine cards, one from Tracy and the other he thinks and hopes is from Karen. He's disappointed when Kelly admits it was she who sent him the card. Sean hands out Valentine's chocolates in exchange for kisses.
