Plot[]
Part One: At night, Gail and David set off from Lake Windermere, having concocted a story about how Joe has landed a job fitting a kitchen in an old people's home and won't be back for weeks. Peter is angry that everyone seems to be ganging up on him. George offers to pay for him to go into rehab, beginning that night in a place he's found. Dev and Sunita panic about how they're going to keep up the pretence of being happily married in front of Grishma and Upma. She insists he stays in the house, sleeps on an airbed and stops Aadi and Asha saying anything to the aunts about their mummy and daddy's other partners. Jason cooks a Valentine's meal for Tina but sets off the smoke alarms. Peter tells George that he doesn't want his charity and just wants Simon back before he'll consider the idea. He stalks out of the house, pushing Ken to the floor when he tries to prevent him leaving. Jason gives Tina her Valentine's present; his divorce papers from Sarah. Tina's thrilled that he's a single man again. David and Gail arrive back. Tina meets them and asks about her father. They stick to their story and tell her he's working up in the Lakes. They let themselves into No.8 and are shocked to find Nick there. For once, Gail isn't pleased to see him.
Part Two: Grishma and Upma make Dev promise to give them a guided tour of his shops rather than a trip to Cheshire. Sunita tells a story that Dev has an sudden urgent business meeting in London and has to leave. Nick senses that his welcome is a frosty one. He explains he's lost his job in Nottingham so he's come to stay. Gail and David repeat the old people's home story to him. Grishma and Upma persuade Dev not to go to London. Nick thinks there's a problem between Gail and Joe. David admits they've had a row but to say nothing to upset their mother. Peter bangs on George and Eve's door demanding that Simon comes home with him. Jason proposes to Tina with a ring. She's thrilled and accepts. Simon opens the door but the chain is on. Through the gap, Peter tries to persuade him to let it off as George, Leanne, Ken and Deirdre arrive. Simon thinks the police are after his dad. Peter breaks down and finally admits he needs help. Dev sleeps on the airbed in Sunita's bedroom. He complains it's got a puncture. Gail finds the strain getting to her. David threatens to go to the police if she doesn't pull herself together.
