He feels he can't keep up. Janice tries to matchmake between Eileen and Dennis but he drags his heels. Geena buys Linda a pregnancy testing kit. She is relieved when it's negative. Rita asks Anthony to keep her out of any decision he makes about Isabel's nursing home. He tells Amanda that thanks to her complaining to George Docherty he may have to move Isabel out of the nursing home. Dennis accuses Janice of trying to get him off with Eileen because she feels guilt for dumping him for Les. She tells him that Eileen does genuinely like him. Hayley agrees to foster but warns Roy that she won't rule out adopting. Liz tells Jim she's been missing him for ages and it broke her heart to hear he was with Gwen.
