PlotEdit

Denise spends the night in her old flat. She begs Ken to forgive her and tells him that she doesn't want to leave him. He tells her that she was sick to betray her sister as she did. She tells him that she wants to marry him and is sorry for hurting him but he tells her that he doesn't want her as a wife. She is an unfit mother and he'll fight her for Daniel. The Platts receive a solicitor's bill for £1,200. Martin is adamant it's paid out of Nick's money. Alison calls on Ken as she doesn't know where Brian is. He delights in telling her about the affair. She confronts Denise and lays into her for ruining her life. She tells her that she never wants to see her again. Don is shocked when Josie tells him they need to get away so they're going abroad next week. Brian tells Denise he's left Alison and they shouldn't waste what has happened; he loves her and wants to be with her. Deirdre feels sorry for Tricia in prison. Jamie runs away from the foster home and asks Deirdre to put him up. She agrees when he threatens to run away to London.
