Plot[]
Part One: Simon doesn't seem himself and Peter's worried about him. The insurers tell Eileen that the damage to her house is just wear and tear, not residual damage from the tram crash and therefore not their responsibility. Eileen cries to Sean, Jason and Rosie that she's bought a duff house. Eddie and Anna look over photos of a girl called Faye who might be arriving on Monday, pending a final approval. Anna can't help but think about Gary. They're pleased when he's enthusiastic to attend a physio appointment. Eileen accuses Owen of failing to point out the faults with the house, but Owen accuses her of cutting corners by not paying for a proper survey. Chris meets up with Billy again who passes him a holdall full of gear. He tells him he's got a final job for him. Nick invites Peter to a poker night. Eileen asks Lloyd for more shifts at Street Cars but when she realises he's given Claire's shifts to Cheryl, she tells him to stick his job.
Part Two: Sean tells Eileen she should grovel for her job back, but she snaps back that he's one of her parasites. Hurt and angry, he says he's leaving. Hilary Pugsley tells Anna that they'll definitely be meeting Faye on Monday. Jason overhears Owen telling Izzy how flush he is at the moment. Gary tells Eddie and Anna that he's been given the all-clear to return to the army. Anna can't help worrying. Jason tells Eileen about Owen's boasts. Carla calls in the builder's yard with a blank cheque for £10,000 for Owen for work done on the factory and hands it to Eileen. Peter finds Simon pouring alcohol down the sink. Crying, he tells his dad he's worried Leanne will leave when she finds out he's drinking again. Peter's mortified. Izzy tells Gary she'll miss him. Gary overhears Anna telling Eddie that she reckons he'll go to bits again. Eileen begs Owen to do the repairs promising that she'll pay him back in instalments, but Owen refuses, saying he doesn't give credit. Frank Foster calls at Underworld again to discuss a deal. Seeing that he's taken with Michelle, she insists that she entertains him for a drink. After getting sloshed in the Rovers, Janice leaves for her holiday with Gaz. Chris watches them leaving and rings Billy to say the job is on. Michelle annoyed as she's supposed to be meeting Ciaran for a farewell drink. In desperation, Eileen makes the blank cheque out to herself and pays it into her own account.
