Plot[]
Part One: Abi storms into the Rovers and tearfully rages at Peter in front of Tim and Sally. Peter tries to apologise but she walks out forlornly. Clayton feels utterly sorry for himself and demands Shona leaves him. She's crushed when he says he wishes he'd died instead of his dad. Abi buys a load of booze and heads back to No.4 as Peter tries to apologise again. She tells him that he's scum and she hopes his boat sinks. With Joseph in bed, Chesney and Gemma start to kiss on the sofa. Joseph gets up, demanding another story. Chesney orders him back to bed and his son uses the F-word on him, grassing up Gemma as the person who he learned it from. Tyrone is delighted when Mary babysits so he and Kevin can go out for a drink. Chesney berates Gemma for teaching his son swear words and she storms out when they row. Having shown the twins over the boat with a hurricane lamp, Simon settles down to spend the night in it with his music playing. Aadi leaves the lamp behind but unthinkingly puts it under the boat with the wick still alight. Having heard from Nick about Clayton's beating, David asks Shona why it happened but she hides the story of the drugs from him. He understands why she doesn't want to talk to him about her son. As Simon continues to listen to his music, someone knocks the lamp over and the exposed wick ignites.
Part Two: The hull of the boat soon starts to burn. Kevin winds up Tyrone that Mary has the hots for him. Alerted by Peter that Abi was heading home with booze, Tim and Sally leave the pub and spot the fire. They alert Peter and ring the fire brigade. Within the boat, a choking Simon yells for help. Kevin and Tyrone fetch the garage's extinguishers while Peter climbs onto the factory balcony and jumps down into the boat to rescue his son. Enough flames are held momentarily at bay by Kevin and Tyrone to enable the two to escape. Carla comforts Peter as the residents see to Simon and the emergency services arrive. Back at No.9, Tyrone is horrified to find a valentine's card on his mat that's not from Fiz. Peter watches his dreams go up in smoke. Shona thanks Nick for not telling David about the drugs. Nick wonders if the drug dealers caused the fire. Peter storms into No.4 demanding to see Abi but her whereabouts aren't known. He rages that she almost caused the death of his son and if she returns she's going to answer to him and the police.
