Plot
Bill and Jason discover the break-in and the missing copper piping. Bill phones the police. Jason reckons Joe might have done it as he's so short of money. Gail's worried about Joe as he hasn't been home since their row. Eddie quizzes Gary about the burglary at the Builder's Yard. Gary denies all knowledge but Eddie knows that his son's lying. Maria starts back at the Salon and finds out from Emily how Jed suddenly disappeared. Maria's immediately suspicious and wonders if Tony's behind it. Tina finds Joe at his lock-up. She tells him to sort himself out. Joe arrives for work and finds out about the burglary. Gary calls in the yard and suggests Joe nicked the copper piping himself. Joe loses his temper and pins Gary down. Bill and Jason have to pull him off. Amber's put out to find Dev's taken Minnie on in the Corner Shop whilst Amber's working in the kebab shop. Chesney tries to cheer Fiz up by setting her up with Graeme but Fiz isn't interested. Eddie begs Gary to do something with his life and not to follow a life of crime.
