Plot
Liz catches a slightly embarrassed Maria and Tyrone in the morning.

At breakfast Fred, Claire and Ashley muse over what Yvonne is going to tell them regarding the tax returns. When Yvonne tells them the final amount it is only £24.09 Fred is very relieved.

Tyrone and Maria have an awkward moment before she goes out. Ciaran is worried about the hen night, that the girls will get too raucous and get him to do something. Maria, Katy and Candice turn up for Claire's hen night. Maria tells them all about last night with Tyrone. Yvonne turns up to speak to Claire. They have an emotional conversation and make-up, and Claire invites her to the wedding.

Shelley's secret meeting is with Bev, her mum. Things go well, and they even discuss Charlie cordially. Charlie doesn't believe Shelley's been to see her mum and she has to prove it by phoning Bev. While on the phone Charlie makes Shelley choose between them, and tell her that she can't see her again.

Meanwhile, Norris has won two pounds in Roy's Xmas pudding lottery, which Les overhears. Les and Kirk try to con Roy by putting a coin in their pudding, but are foiled as Roy has marked all the coins.
