Episode 7064 (27th April 2009)

Plot
A stunned but thrilled Rita accepts Colin's marriage proposal, much to the delight of the party guests and the celebrations begin in earnest.

Julie isn't best pleased that Jason appears to have been avoiding her all night but as the conversation turns from her annoyance with him to her upset at her mum, he can't help but comfort her. When a drunken Paula arrives at the party, she spots Jason and Julie apparently getting cosy and outraged, she decides the time has come for everyone to know the truth about why Jason and Julie can't be together - they're related! Paula then turns on Colin, announcing to Julie that he's her father.

Fiz is excited by Chesney's Jekyll and Hyde project with him and he's impressed by how much work she's putting into his home schooling. When she lies and tells him that she's being helped by someone connected to the school, Chesney's convinced that her newly-acquired glow means that she has a crush on them.

Steve tells Lloyd that he's reached an understanding with Tracy over what happened and apologises to Becky for being so hard on her. Amy shows that he's right to give Becky another chance when she asks her if she'll put her to bed.

Peter arrives at the Peacocks' to collect Simon and he and Ashley are amused by Claire's insistence on feeding the boys a diet fit for a budding footballer. When Peter returns home and contemplates raiding the flat for booze, he's pleased when Ashley arrives with kebabs as a welcome distraction.

Meanwhile, Ken is feeling smothered by the lack of interests he and Deirdre share and he can't help comparing her to Martha in his mind.
