Plot[]

Part One: Nick tells Gail that Natasha has gone for good. Molly's curious about the reason behind Jack wanting to stay with her and Tyrone. Gail goes to the medical centre to ask for her job back and is outraged to find Deirdre already installed as her temporary replacement. As Natasha has filed a formal complaint, Dr Carter refuses to reinstate her as or provide a reference. Gail's downcast as she leaves. Sophie and Sian worry about returning to school. Sally's arranged to go with them to see the head teacher and explain their recent absence. Nick struggles to regain his workers' respect at the factory and inflames matters when he infers that Carla and Trevor's relationship is mismatched. Norris suggests to Tina that she and Graeme were behind his and Rita's identity theft. Tina tells Norris to stick his job. The head teacher is reluctant to let Sophie and Sian resume their places at school as they've missed a lot of work. Sally accuses him of being prejudiced against lesbians and surprises herself and the girls by fervently defending them. She storms out. Trevor gets fed up when Nick criticises his work again. Nick's had enough and calls him a moron. Trevor loses his rag and punches Nick in the face. Nick's furious and sacks him. Carla overrules Nick and orders them both into the office. Nick's angry at her lack of support and leaves.

Part Two: Betty and Becky take Gail to task for reading Natasha's medical records. David finds Tina feeling sorry for herself and jokes with her to cheer her up. Trevor tells Carla he couldn't care less about the factory. Gail and Tina bump into each other at Joe's grave. She invites Tina back for a chat. Rita is furious with Norris. David finds Tina and Gail at home. He continues to make Tina laugh. Sophie thanks Sally for her support. Sally tells her that she needs time for the shock to wear off before she can get used to her sexuality. David walks Tina home to the shop flat. Tina starts to feel uncomfortable when he wants to talk about their relationship. Carla reels when Nick tells her that he's finished with the factory. David tries to kiss Tina, but she recoils and pushes him away. David pushes back and Tina pulls him down with her as she falls on to the sofa. David suddenly realises he's gone too far and races off home.
