Episode 6961 (7th December 2008)

Plot
It's the morning after the night before and Maria is in a state of shock. She wants answers and is determined to find out exactly what was going on between Liam and Carla. Michelle tries to convince her that a kiss doesn't necessarily mean an affair but Tom admits that he did once wonder if there was something going on.

Maria is like a woman possessed and realises that there is one person who might know a little bit more - Rosie Webster. Maria waits for her to leave the factory and tackles her about Liam and Carla, but Maria is shocked by what Rosie tells her.

Peter is starting to get his act together and proudly tells Deirdre[ that he set three alarm clocks to ensure that he and Simon woke up and got ready for school in time. But he still hasn't quite got the hang of it and forgets Simon’s school bag.

Tina is worried about her dad and the amount of cash he is splashing out on Gail's new kitchen. When he gives her a jewellery box, she soon asks him if he has taken out a dodgy loan. Secretly, she's pleased with the present but is concerned about her father.

Elsewhere, Molly almost catches Tyrone selling some of Pam's knock-off perfume.
