Plot[]
Part One: Liz tells Hannah that she'll go through her finances and see how much she can raise towards what she needs. Ken prepares an Italian meal for Claudia and debriefs Daniel and Sinead as to what's required in their conversation round the table. Eileen is amused by Steve and Abi's dancing efforts, especially when he fails to lift her properly and they collapse on the floor. Hannah reports her success to Jim but he's distracted by the thought of his ex and Johnny being in a relationship. Tim returns from Bradford saying it was a dead end. He tells Gina how much he relishes her support. Eileen warns Liz from getting too close to Jim again when she senses her friend is doing just that. Much to Daniel and Sinead's amusement, Claudia gets snappy when Ken constantly tries to bring up the subject of hairdressing. Jim tricks Steve into confessing that Johnny cheated on Jenny with Liz.
Part Two: When Tracy demands to know where Steve has actually been, Jim steps in and provides him with a false alibi. Nevertheless, she rips into him for not showing interest in their wedding day. Liz manages to raise £10,000 and also offers Hannah her ISA and pension. Ken confesses his true motives to Claudia and she agrees to assist him. Tim and Gina enjoy watching a film together and she likes his company. Tracy offers to run Steve a bath and give him a massage, admitting she's not being supportive with the hard time he's going through. Eileen warns Abi from getting too involved with Steve. Jim's thought of a better way of getting their money than scamming Liz. Johnny receives a text blackmailing him for £50,000 or Jenny will find out about Liz.
