Plot
Claire is left unconcious at the bottom of her stairs, overhelmed by the fire's smoke. Roy calls the fire brigade from the street as the blaze rages out of control. As a crowd gathers, Jamie and Kirk kick the Peacocks' door down and drag Claire from the house.

With Claire safe, Jamie goes back into the house with Roy and Jerry to try and rescue Freddie but to no avail. The fire fighters then arrive and put out the blaze but they don't reach Freddie in time. The whole street is in shock as Claire is taken to hospital and the neighbours desperately try to contact Ashley.

Deirdre visits Ken at Denise's home. She tells him the fire has made her see how important Ken is to her. But Ken feels like their relationship is over and that Daniel can be a new start for him. As Ken lets her leave, determined to put his relationship with Daniel first.

Elsewhere, Derek and Liz continue their affair at Derek's secret flat.

Liam asks Leanne if Paul knew about her losing her job and that's why he doesn't like her.
