Plot[]
Part One: A dazed John recovers himself enough to tell Fielding that Colin moved to Canada and proves who he is by showing him his driving licence. Fielding departs, with further threats if he finds out that John is lying about Colin's whereabouts. Fiz, John and Chesney are shaken. Sian catches up with Sophie in the builder's yard. Sophie accuses her of being Ryan's girlfriend. Fiz isn't happy to find out that John knew about Colin's affair and the trouble he's brought on them with his lies. Sian assures Sophie that her lunch with Ryan was innocent from her point of view and it was Ciaran who turned it into a romantic meal. Sophie's mollified and Sian leans in for a kiss. They are horrified to see that Ryan has followed and spotted them. John rings Charlotte to tell them they have a problem. Sian tries to explain to Ryan her confusion over her feelings for Sophie. Natasha gets the addresses out of Audrey's book before she returns. Fiz has had enough and issues an ultimatum: either he stops lying and forgets about teaching or their marriage is over. John's stunned. Sian begs Ryan to keep her secret but he won't give her any assurances.
Part Two: Sunita's mortified to discover she ordered two dozen cases of mango chutney, instead of two dozen jars, while distracted by the twins. Dev feels vindicated. Sian and Sophie worry that Ryan will reveal their secret. Natasha asks Liz to arrange Audrey's surprise 70th at the Rovers on Friday. Sunita challenges Dev to stay at home with the children for a week while she runs the corner shop. Dev reluctantly agrees. Sian tells Sophie she's not ashamed but not yet ready for people to know about them. John tells Fiz that he will give up teaching to save their marriage. Fiz is relieved. Lewis conceals his shock at Audrey's age when Natasha tells him about the party. At the bar, Audrey invites Lewis to move in with her. Lewis tries to look pleased by the idea. Charlotte arrives in answer to John's summons. He is horror-struck when she makes it clear that she wants him, threatening to report him to the authorities if he does not enter into an affair with her.
