Plot[]
As Tracy wallows in self-pity, Deirdre wishes that she'd never got dragged into her web of deceit. Anne reminds Frank he's meeting a customer, Martin, for dinner. Gail's upset at the thought of Nick moving into Victoria Court and makes him promise that he'll come round for Sunday lunch. Tracy begs Steve to give her a chance but he tells her that she's a manipulative, lying cow and he's going to talk to his solicitor about getting their marriage annulled. Dennis and Rita uncover Norris's sham piano-playing and realise that Mary's keyboard plays by itself. However, Sylvia hears him "practising" and is impressed. Ken is angry with Tracy over her malicious lies and equally unimpressed with Deirdre for going along with it. Peter lies to Leanne and tells her that he's meeting some mates at the dog track. He heads off to a restaurant to meet Carla. Jason tells Eileen that he's changed his mind and he admires her for supporting Paul as a friend. However when he discovers that Paul stayed the night while his ill wife is in a care home, he's appalled at the pair of them. Carla is horrified to see Martin, an old business acquaintance, in the restaurant. Martin tells her that he's meeting Frank. Carla makes her excuses and flees from the restaurant. David and Kylie attend Max's parents' evening at the school. Brian lectures them about the importance of a healthy diet and they leave in a huff. Carla finds Peter parking the car and quickly jumps in, telling him to drive away as fast as possible before Frank turns up and spots them together. Sitting in his car, Frank witnesses the whole encounter. Steve and Ken console each other over their dealings with Tracy. Frank tells Sally how he's got Trish, his private detective, back on the case and he reckons they now have the evidence they need of Peter and Carla's affair.
