Episode 7029 (9th March 2009)

Plot
It's a night of tears, accusations and revelations at the Platts' and by the end of the night, Joe, David, Gail and Tina know more about each other than they thought possible.

David is stunned when Len Windass gleefully explains that he secured the kitchen contract for Joe in exchange for him getting Tina to change her story in court. Furious, David storms home and tells Gail and Tina about the bribe, but that's just the tip of the iceberg as Tina's abortion secret is soon revealed, quickly followed by Joe's discovery that David tried to kill Gail. The straw that broke the camel's back comes with the news that Joe only moved in with Gail as he'd been evicted from his flat.

Meanwhile, Uncle Umed is making himself at home and is surprised when he overhears a conversation between Tara and Jason. As the pair discuss Jason refitting Dev's shop to turn it into an art gallery, Umed gets the wrong end of the stick and is convinced that they're having an affair.

Peter is still in a state following Leanne's departure and no amount of talking with Ken is going to make the situation any better.

Elsewhere, Liz tries to have a heart-to-heart with Lloyd about their relationship but ends up dumping him when he fails to convince her that he has no problem with their age difference.
