Plot[]
Bet tells Jim that Fred is coming back to the caravan, and she takes him to Cecil Newton's boat whilst avoiding police on the way. The private detective takes pictures of them kissing while they try to avoid the police. Fred arrives at his caravan to find out from the police that they've received a report that an escaped criminal has been staying there. Karen persuades Steve to take her out on the town as a treat since both his parents are busy. Sunita tells Shelley that she wants a big wedding, and not the small affair she and Ciaran are planning. When he sees the engagement ring that his father has bought, Philip Newton tells Cecil he will get evidence to stop him wanting to marry Bet. Bev and Deirdre go out for a drink and meet Cilla, and Ciaran admits to Tracy again that he doesn't want to get married. Bet agrees to marry Cecil, and Philip receives some photos of Bet and Jim together.
