Plot[]
Debs feels humiliated by Duggie and feels that he's had his chance. Steve is adamant that Jez is not his partner and won't be distributing any packages for him. Gary struggles to make ends meet and feels bad as he can't afford new shoes for the twins. Tyrone has his driving test again, with the same examiner - Mr Boyce. When the car breaks down, desperate Tyrone gets the examiner to let him fix it, reminding him how he saved his life. After getting the car working again, Tyrone passes his test. After reminding himself how much Ashley means to him, Fred tells him he's welcome to his own beliefs. Linda investigates performance-related pay and thinks Underworld should adopt it but Mike isn't sure. Steve agrees to employ Gary as a taxi driver once he's got a licence. Duggie apologises to Debs, explaining he had a panic attack as he was scared. She tells him he's very screwed up and should get sorted out. Steve tries to give Jez his £8,000 back but Jez refuses it. He then turns violent, telling him to do as he says or he'll end up like Tony Horrocks, the last person to cross him. Steve is horrified to realise Leanne's theory about him being Tony's killer was correct.
