Beth continues to wonder what's behind Craig's odd behaviour. When she asks if he's been thinking about his dad, he says yes. Rita is interviewed by the police. Dennis blames Tina for everything, saying she's as bad as the yobs. Rita gives a description of them but doesn't expect to get anything back. Sinead thinks Chesney should talk to Craig as he grew up without a dad. Tina is sorry for mouthing off at everyone and apologises to Rita. Sally returns from her date and is annoyed when Neil expects her to invite him in her house. She sends him packing, saying his one true love is insurance. Tim passes by and she invites him in for a drink. When Leanne leaves, David tells Nick he'll take any punishment for what he's done as long as Nick pulls through. Sally decides to quit internet dating. Tim kisses her. They are about to go upstairs but Tim reminds Sally that he's moving away on Friday. She suggests they make the most of what time they have.
