Plot[]
Part One: Steve and Becky decide to take Max and Amy to the park and enjoy a day out. Ashley's hung-over and Claire's frosty towards him, but quietly they're both sad that their marriage seems to have reached rock bottom. Tina fusses over a happy Graeme. Becky, Steve and the children enjoy the park. Audrey encourages a depressed David to go out for a walk but to keep away from Graeme while he awaits his tests. Michelle is shocked when Kylie arrives back unexpectedly with a Greek bar owner called Dimitri in tow. Claire offers an olive branch and suggests to Ashley that she cooks them a nice meal so they talk things through properly without rowing. He's pleased. Jack takes Tyrone on an afternoon pub crawl. Steve and Becky return from the park. Becky is not welcoming towards her sister and tells her what she thinks of her for swanning off to Ayia Napa and abandoning Max. The sisters row and Becky pours a pint of beer over Kylie's head.
Part Two: Ashley and Claire start to enjoy their meal but they soon end up rowing when she suggests that they holiday in France. He suddenly suffers chest pains. Becky confronts Kylie about her attempt to seduce Steve and the cafe theft. Becky's stunned when Kylie announces she's come back to say goodbye. A panicking Claire flags down Eddie to take Ashley to the hospital while she drops the boys off. Tyrone tells Jack that he's going to spend the money he's left to baby Jack on travelling when he's older. Jack enjoys slapping Michelle's bottom as she passes their booth and watching her think it was a blameless Dimitri. Kylie admits she's only returned to collect Max as they're moving to Cyprus to live with Dimitri. Becky is horrified at the thought of losing the boy. Ashley returns from the hospital, agreeing with Claire when she says she thinks it was an angina attack. He says he's been given pills and must avoid stress. Claire cries with guilt and calls their house move off. Tina lets Audrey buy her and Graeme a drink to show civility. A tearful Becky begs Kylie not to take Max away explaining how much she loves him, but Kylie refuses to listen. As Kylie, Max and Dimitri drive away, Steve tries in vain to comfort his sobbing wife.
