Plot[]
The post arrives at No.8 and there's still no birthday card for Richard. Gail's relieved, thinking that David must be innocent. Kelly asks Danny for her job back but he refuses her saying she's a thief. Keith gives Gail a letter which was delivered to him by accident. Gail's horrified to discover it's a birthday card from Richard. Gail feels sick knowing David's the culprit. Gail confronts David with the card. At first he denies it, but Gail reveals how she lied to him about Richard's birthday which was in December. David admits he sent the cards. Sarah's disgusted when she finds out it was David. Hayley leads the factory girls in pleading with Danny to give Kelly her job back. He eventually relents. Kelly's delighted. Amber and Craig work together in the corner shop. Amber tells Craig what a useless father Dev is. Ashley plans to blacken Matt's name to strengthen his case against him. Amber asks Dev if she can live with him rather than go to Finland but Dev tells her Sunita's moving into the house with the twins and he's moving out. Amber leaves upset. Gail blames herself for David's behaviour saying that if he's a bad lad then she must be a bad mother. David overhears.

Notable dialogue[]
Gail Platt (to her son David while confronting him about the cards): "I don't think you realise what serious trouble you're in. You have set out deliberately to cause to cause fear and misery to everyone in this family! This has been hanging over us for weeks, months. We've had sleepless nights. I'm on pills for God's sake! The neighbours thought I was sending those cards to myself, that I'm mad! I thought I was going mad! You knew this, you watched it happen, and you carried on sending those cards!"
