Plot[]

Karen tells Janice and Bobbi they owe her £20 as Steve has agreed to go on holiday. Janice and Bobbi decide to up the stakes again and offer her a day's wages from each of them if she can get Steve to marry her and make the holiday her honeymoon. Geena goes to collect her things from Dev's flat. He tries to talk to her but she won't listen. Karen tells Steve about the marriage bet. He agrees to go along with it and split the money 50/50. Frank tells Curly about Alma's cancer and gives him a letter to deliver to her. Curly drops the letter round and talks to Alma and Audrey. Audrey explains that Alma is the reason why she's given up her election campaign. She says she will back Curly instead. Ashley fails to produce a sperm sample at the hospital as he's too nervous. David and Simon Green set fire to some rubbish in the garden at No.8. The fire gets out of hand, and the clothes hung out on the washing line catch fire. Fortunately, Sam and Matt put it out, but Gail is furious. David is upset and he wants his dad. Molly agrees to pay Kevin in instalments to get her car back.

However, the episode received its first true transmission on ITV2 on 23rd May at 7.30pm.
