Plot
As Peter pleads with Michelle to stay, he tells her that he needs her. Michelle's torn but still raw from her break-up with Steve, she refuses to let her guard down with another man. Telling Peter that neither of them is over their previous relationship, she reveals that she's still leaving. It's an emotional goodbye for Michelle as she bids farewell to Maria and Ryan.

Elsewhere Peter's taken her decision hard and admits to Ken that he's struggling to stay off the booze. When he then finds a bottle of Blanche's sherry at the flat, he breaks down.

Hayley brings home the cardboard cut out of Eddie to an angry Roy and a devastated Anna. Humiliated, Anna confronts Eddie about his latest scam. As they apologise to the Croppers, Anna worries that she may lose her job. Hayley, however, knows that it wasn't Anna's doing and reassures her that she still has her job. Feeling guilty, Eddie then hands the holiday over but while Roy thinks that going to Paris would be dishonest, Hayley really wants to go.

David discusses 'the job' with Gary. Len becomes suspicious of the pair of them but Gary assures him that David may be useful and seems to have a plan. Meanwhile, feeling vengeful, David steals Joe's new bottle of pills.

And Julie offers to become Sean's life coach when he complains that he's bored with his life and lack of love.
