Plot[]
Part One: Owen offers to buy Izzy a laptop for her birthday. Lloyd encourages Ciaran to make it up with Michelle. David lies that Gary went off with some army mates when Anna and Izzy ask if they know where he got to after their night out. In the police station, Gary prepares for a bail hearing. Owen makes a start on Eileen's roof. She feels guiltier than ever. Chris pays Billy for doing his dirty work and burgling Janice's flat, but annoys him for deducting £40 for bungling the job. The police question Janice about her break-in. They ask her which cab firm she used to get to the airport. and she confirms it was Street Cars. Ciaran apologises to Michelle and suggests she should come with him on the Caribbean cruise. Eileen's frustrated to discover she can't yet transfer the £10,000 from her account to Owen's as the cheque hasn't cleared yet. John is deeply depressed and refuses to go to the hospital with Fiz. Eddie bakes a cake to mark Faye's arrival but spells her name wrong. Janice can't face going back into her flat. Owen is embarrassed when his bank card is declined in the electrical shop. Sean tells Eileen not to be worried as Owen won't spot the loss for a while.
Part Two: Leanne realises Janice is scared and tells her to make herself at home in her flat. Owen's puzzled knowing he should have at least £10,000 in the account. Checking with Izzy, he discovers the Underworld cheque has never been paid into his account and that Eileen's timesheets bear little resemblance to the hours she's actually worked. Carla encourages Michelle to throw caution to the wind and go with Ciaran. Fiz finds John slumped in the kitchen suffering a breakdown. Ciaran finds Michelle in his waiting taxi, packed and ready to go. They leave together. Owen asks a deeply-troubled Eileen to pop into the yard later on. Gary arrives back having been charged and up for sentencing on Friday. Izzy overhears him talking to David about punching a policeman. He blames David for provoking the situation. Lloyd is horrified when the police make it clear they suspect him of burgling a string of burglaries on which she recently did cab runs. Chris overhears and is secretly delighted his plan is coming together. He helps himself to a set of cab keys. Janice thinks the police may have a point, annoying all of Lloyd's friends. Fiz is alarmed when John tries to ring Charlotte, forgetting she's dead. He tells her he needs to confess. Eileen freezes as she sees Carla's invoice marked "paid" on Owen's desk. He asks her for a little chat.
