Plot
The restaurant has now become the bane of Leanne's life and Paul's attempts to cheer her up are futile. However, when Dan arrives for a drink she perks up - much to Paul's dismay. As they drink, Leanne reveals what a desperate situation she's in with the pizzeria and selling isn’t even an option anymore. When Dan casually mentions that she should burn the place down – Leanne's intrigued. Dan's shocked when Leanne 'accidentally' knocks over two flaming sambucas and sets fire to the table cloth - claiming "accidental fire" might be the solution to all of her problems!
David is worried about Audrey's suspicions but reassures Tina that it'll be fine. However, Tina's not convinced and is panicking about having to lie to everyone. When Tina mentions that she’d like to go and visit Gail in hospital and asks him if he’s sure he doesn’t want to come clean, David is uneasy.
Fiz goes to meet Chesney’s social worker in a bid to get him home and everyone’s delighted when she agrees to let Fiz act as Chesney’s guardian. The social worker just needs to inspect Fiz’s home first to make sure she’s capable of parental responsibility. However, when Chesney realises he has to go home to Fiz's flat, and not No 5, he's upset that he won’t be able to live with Schmeichel and Kirk. Refusing to budge he suggests Fiz move back into to his house instead, so they can be one big happy family. Fiz is reluctant but realising she doesn't have a choice she agrees to move into No 5 - much to Chesney’s delight!
Elsewhere, Bill and Jason are hoping they’ll get the contract to work on the new flats – the business could really do with the money. Also, as the builders shoot admiring glances at Becky in the café, she broaches the subject of moving in with Roy. Despite his reservations, Roy agrees to let her move in.
