Plot[]
Part One: Eileen tells Billy that the mortuary body wasn't Todd's. Having overheard his conversation with Fiz, Ray offers to help Gary out by taking the factory off his hands for £150,000. Gary says it's not for sale. Todd is furious to learn that Eileen didn't do as he asked. Arthur is an hour late picking Evelyn up. Ray tells Scott that his mate can't hire him as he already has everyone he needs. Scott asks why then does a friend of his have an interview there next week. Ray admits that Johnny ratted him out. David feels that living with Shona is like having a deranged toddler on the loose. Roy says he should expect her to wear him out. Eileen confides in Mary that she's met up with Todd.
Part Two: Scott makes it obvious to Johnny that he knows he was behind his job loss. Having heard that Todd's in trouble with a gangster, Mary annoys Eileen when she repeats the story to George Shuttleworth. George recognises Mick Chaney as the brother of a drug dealer killed in a turf war last year. Maria convinces Fiz not to give up her job with Gary and also volunteers her husband to look over No.8's sinkhole. Maria is flabbergasted that Gary turned Ray down. George warns Mary that Mick is the sort who'll come after Todd's family if he can't get to the man himself. Getting an idea, George calls a mate. Arthur and Evelyn set off for the Lake District three hours late. Evelyn is unimpressed at being kept waiting. Scott tells Johnny that he owes him and pressures the landlord to help him rob Ray. Todd confronts Eileen at No.11, saying she's signed his death warrant. Eileen feels justified in sparing his loved ones unnecessary grief. She's shocked to learn that he only owes Mick £1,000. Todd leaves, telling Eileen he has to disappear and she'll never see him again.
