Dev believes her. Peter tells Fred that he put the raffle money in the till. Fred realises that he's going to have to apologise to Harry. Katy arrives home from hospital. She can't bring herself to inject so Martin comes round and does it for her. Katy is very grateful. Dev talks to Steve about Karen and says that he's sure she's telling the truth. Lucy asks Peter to move in with her. He wriggles out of it saying he'd rather wait until they're married. Karen calls round to see Joe. Joe begs her to give up on Steve and stay the night with him. She refuses saying she loves Steve. Steve phones her and asks her to come round to the flat. She goes and Steve apologises to her for being jealous and stupid. They kiss and make up.
