Episode 6797 (16th April 2008)

Plot
David has a few goodbyes to say before he goes to court tomorrow and leaves another message on Tina’s answerphone. Later that day, Gail is surprised when she opens the door to Tina – who’s come to speak to David. She apologises to Gail about lying but Gail harbours no resentment and asks her to stay for tea. When David arrives home he’s delighted to see his ex but as they eat dinner there’s an awkward atmosphere. When they're alone, Tina tells him that she needs a break from him - she won’t be visiting him in prison and can’t see a way back for them. She gets on the bus leaving a heartbroken David alone on what will surely be his last night of freedom.

Roy and Becky prepare for trouble to kick off as the builders start to arrive with their vans. When a driver enters the cafe to ask Roy to move the car he explains he can’t drive and the car belongs to his wife - he would ask her to move it but she happens to be in Africa so regretfully there's nothing he can do to help. The site foreman eventually arrives to try and reason with Roy who remains firm, while Becky is highly amused. The police are called but Roy still refuses to budge and the car is legally parked so the policeman is unable to act. As the builders resign themselves to losing a day’s work, Becky congratulates Roy on his victory and the car is moved. Tony hopes this is the end of it.

Michelle arrives back from her meeting with Alex and declares she wants him to be a real part of their lives and she’s going to take the first step to make that happen by telling her mum and dad the truth.
