Lisa lays into Vera, telling her she now sees Terry for what he really is. Steve is horrified to fail his driving test for speeding. Knowing his job depends on him being able to drive he tells everyone he passed. Sally is put out when Carmel picks Sarah Louise up from school. Vera admits to telling Terry about Des. Lisa tells her she's sick of her manipulating her. Carmel tells Sally that Martin and Gail are having marriage problems. Lisa realises Terry is a thug and will never change.
