Episode 6500 (26th February 2007)

Plot
Now in the inquisitive hands of Chesney the metal detector indicates a strong signal in the Peacocks' back garden. Eileen who is babysitting there is far from happy when she finds Chesney digging away at the lawn. Kirk and Tyrone join Chesney in the garden as the three of them continue to dig in front of a horrified Eileen. She quickly realises the large metal object is an old bomb.

A panic stricken Eileen calls the authorities and the whole street rushes to see what all the fuss is about. Suddenly all havoc breaks loose, as an onslaught of soldiers and a bomb disposal unit arrive at the scene. The whole street is evacuated by the police and sent to the community centre. Liz is panic stricken because Vernon is one of the few notable absentees in the evacuation.

Sean is talking to Jamie and is still stressed about the situation with Sonny. Jamie, presuming Sean is about to end things with Sonny, gives him the keys to no.7 to invite Sonny over for some private time. After taking Sonny's number off Michelle in the street, Sean invites him over and lets him into the house through the back door. By the time they reach the front room Sonny is already working his magic on Sean; Sonny has much more in mind than finishing the affair. He leads an apprehensive Sean upstairs into Jamie's bedroom. Later on, after seeing the presence of soldiers in the street, Sonny suggests the two should continue their afternoon of fun and frolics, as it looks like they could be there for a while.

David, intent on Tracy fulfilling her side of the bargain, arrives at her house. He has carried out his part of the deal by agreeing to testify, and now it's time for Tracy to carry out hers. David is deadly serious and knowing this Tracy agrees to sleep with him, but only after the trial. David agrees to the deal but makes it perfectly clear to Tracy that he needs much more than just a kiss. The sudden arrival at the door of a soldier saves the day for Tracy.

Meanwhile, Jason, feeling flush after being paid for Jodi's job, asks if Holly needs anything. Eileen is heartened by Jason's offer.
