Episode 7291 (11th March 2010)

Plot
Peter's eventually released from police custody, having spent the night in the cells. George, meanwhile, wants to raise Simon's spirits and suggests a trip to Blackpool. Back on the Street, Peter and Leanne also have plans for Simon but when they discover that George called the school claiming that Simon's ill, they start to worry.

Peter's worst fears are soon confirmed when he's then served with court papers, which reveal that George has been awarded temporary custody of Simon while he applies for a permanent residence order. In Blackpool, though, George tells a stunned Eve that he has no intention of returning to the Street.

Meanwhile, Nick's spent the night with Kelly and turning on the charm, he asks if she can acquire Underworld's accounts for him. Kelly refuses but Carla gives her a public dressing down when she broadcasts all about her night with Nick and his plans for the factory.

Tina battles with her emotions after visiting her father's body at the chapel of rest with Gail. When Tina then returns to the Street, though, she sees Jason telling the police about Joe's money problems and it all becomes too much. With that, she lets rip at Jason.

Elsewhere, Janice is full of excitement when Trevor asks Janice to recommend a posh restaurant - she's sure that he's about to ask her out on a date.
