PlotEdit

Gail accuses Martin of being jealous of Nick. She tries to explain to Leanne about the money but Leanne refuses to listen and calls her a twisting cow in front of the cafe customers. When Kevin tells Alison he wants to take her out for a special meal, she allows herself to think he's going to propose, especially when he's spotted coming out of a jewellers. Leanne reminds Gail that she made her lie on the divorce papers and threatens to go to the police, pointing out Gail will get the blame. Alma lets herself into Mike's flat and finds evidence of a woman living with him. Ashley gets his birth certificate which says his mother is Kathleen Gutteridge, his father unknown. He decides that he wants to find Kathleen. Gail panics about being in trouble with the police and turns to Martin for help. He tells Leanne that he'll give her the money, in cash. Kevin takes Alison for a meal and shows her a necklace he's bought for Rosie. She tries to cover the let-down. When Alma tells Hayley that she knows of Mike's girlfriend, Hayley tells her that it's Linda.
