Plot[]
Part One: Abi is subdued and hung-over, assuring Kevin and Debbie that the events were just a blip. She isn't pleased to hear that Kelly has a job at Trim Up North. Phill calls to take Fiz and the girls to the Christmas market. Eileen is still not in a forgiving mood with George, telling Todd that their relationship is over. A relaxed and happy Nina has spent the night at No.7, feeling a weight has been lifted from her shoulders by being upfront about her anxiety with Asha. Imran watches on as Abi prevents Kelly from going into the barbers. A trader on the market embarrasses Phill when she mistakes Hope and Ruby for his own daughters. Imran checks up with Kelly who tells him how much she enjoyed Christmas with him, Toyah and Elsie. Their conversation is interrupted when Abi continues to stalk the girl. Imran confronts Abi and reminds her she's done some pretty shameful things herself, including sleeping with him. Abi slaps him across the face. Kevin rushes up and demands to know what's going on.
Part Two: Imran takes the blame but nevertheless threatens Abi with harassing Kelly. Abi tells Kevin she's now got her anger out of her system. Tyrone tells Evelyn that it’s obvious Phill will get bored of playing the family man and when he does, he’ll be waiting for Fiz. Evelyn reckons he's deluded. Phill suggests the girls might like to call him stepdad. Fiz reckons it’s a great idea. Asha takes Nina shopping and she buys a present for Roy from an antiques shop. Maria calls at No.7 and asks Kelly why she failed to turn up to work. With Abi's eyes boring into her as she passes by, Kelly lies that she couldn’t be bothered. Maria tells her she's fired. Roy is delighted with Nina's present of an antique set used in the 1936 Nottingham chess tournament with a small toy train to replace a missing piece. Kelly meets Jacob Hay who refuses to sell her drugs. Todd has apologised to George for his practical joke of suggesting he buy Eileen a coffin when the lady herself walks into the funeral parlour wanting a word. Craig arrests Kelly when he finds her drugged-up on spice.
Part Three: Leo calls on Jenny wanting to know why she's avoiding him and asking if she'll see him tomorrow. Still uncomfortable with the age difference between them, she promises to let him know. Phill is disappointed when a house with a large garden he wanted to buy falls through as the girls would have loved it. Eileen forgives George. Fiz likes the idea of living in a nice house with Phill, saying she's not put off him by his mother. Nina loses a chess game with Roy. Delighted that her life's getting back on track, she gives Asha a present of the picture she's drawn of the two of them together. Tyrone's shocked when Fiz tells him that she and Phill are moving in together.
Part Four: Although initially Tyrone tries to come up with reasons as to why Fiz and Phill shouldn't move away, he eventually gives his blessing. Dev isn't pleased when Kelly is brought home by Craig. Daisy tells Jenny that she's mad for not going out with Leo and having fun. George gives a delighted Eileen a replacement present of a new coat and a meal out. Aadi tries to intervene as Dev angrily lectures Kelly. Imran also tells her she's taking a self-destructive course even though he recognises that Abi's treatment means it's not all her own fault. He insists she takes part in a drugs support group. Nina has a panic attack when she can't contact Asha in a hurry and feels stupid for over-reacting. Fiz thanks Tyrone for being understanding about her and Phill moving in but also tells him she wants to sell No.9. Imran tells Kelly there are many people who care about her. Dev apologises for being angry but also tells her that he and his family can't cope with the drama she brings into their lives, reminding her of the video of his daughter that she passed round. Despite her pleas, he asks her to move out in the morning.
