Rita tells Norris she is definitely going to have Mr Woo, the dog. Eileen decides to set up a savings account to fund Todd's university placement and Jason is jealous. Richard persuades Gail to go to Spain with his friends, the Meltons, who have invited them to their villa. However, when they meet in the Rovers it becomes clear to all but Gail that it is Richard who has hired the villa. Sunita promises Deirdre that she will not tell Ken about her night with Dev. Geena puts on a brave face behind the bar but runs off in tears when Dev and Joe come in and argue. Maria teases Fiz, who takes offence. While Maria is out on her date, Toyah tells Fiz that she likes living with her and not to worry about Maria. Audrey spots Richard's friend, Chris Melton, whom she knows from the Council. He appears nervous as Audrey speaks to him. Maria tells Geena that women should take control of their own lives. Geena gets upset again and goes to Shelley's flat. On the way, Dev tries to apologise to her but she is not interested. Ken arrives home and sees his car is parked in a different place to where he left it.
