Plot[]
Des is annoyed to find Colin's bed hasn't been slept in. Steve is furious to find Colin has spent the night with Liz. Nicky finds the deliveries hard work as the bike is so heavy. The Websters enjoy the country life in the Lake District. Steve moves back into No.11. He tells Jim that Colin's got his feet under the table. Jim calls at The Queens and meets Colin. He accuses him of wanting to take advantage of Liz. He warns Colin that Liz is still his wife and he won't see her getting hurt. Jim manages to keep his temper and just tells Colin to treat Liz well. Liz is amazed when Colin tells her that Jim has accepted their situation. Kevin and Sally enjoy being cosy together in the cottage. They are put out when Joe arrives, saying that he's taken holiday from work. Liz calls on Jim and tells him that Colin has nothing to do with their problems. He tells her that he'll always wait for her but she says there's no point.
