Plot[]
Janice puts her first aid skills into practice and puts Joshua in the recovery position. Claire's shocked whilst Ashley quickly phones an ambulance. Rita breaks the terrible news to Emily that Ramsay is dead. Emily's visibly shaken. Umed sets up a curry stall at the fete. Teresa insists she makes a better curry and they agree to a "curry challenge". Kevin and Molly finish their race. Sophie congratulates her dad and leaves them saying she wants to join her mates at the fete. Kevin and Molly look at each other longingly. At the hospital, Ashley and Claire are relieved that Joshua is going to be fine. Emily makes a phone call to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and discovers Ramsay died of a brain tumour. She realises Ramsay knew he was dying and wanted to make up with Norris before his death. Norris pretends he doesn't care. Emily loses her temper with him and calls him a selfish little man. Sian and Ben con Umed and Teresa out of free curry. Teresa can't help being impressed at their cheek. Emily tells Rita how much Ramsay meant to her. Ashley thanks Janice for helping save Joshua's life. Janice is glad she could help. Kevin and Molly have sex in a hotel room and admit it's what they both want. Graeme wins the raffle and returns the Ricky Hatton signed boxing gloves to Ashley. Ashley's very grateful. Emily sits alone and cries over her loss of Ramsay. Norris visits his mother's grave and places some flowers next to those left by his dead brother. It's clear that deep down he's very upset.
