Plot
Gail struggles to take in the police's news, refusing to believe that Joe is dead. David desperately tries to stop her from saying anything incriminating. Sunita tries to get rid of Matt but Dev arrives home with her aunts and he is forced to make the excuse that Matt is the twins' maths tutor. Carla makes Janice stay behind after work to clean the toilets. As Audrey comforts Gail, David visits Tina to break the news. She accuses him of lying and attacks him but is forced to accept the truth from Gail. Matt accuses Dev of stealing Sunita from him. Dev tells him that he and Sunita are just trying to fool her aunts. Matt reluctantly leaves. Anna's horrified to learn of Quinny's brother's ordeal. She cries as Gary and Quinny leave to complete their training, worried that her son may meet a similar fate. Connie answers the phone to Tyrone's mum Jackie and tells her about Molly leaving. David and Jason accompany Gail and Tina as the police take them to the Lakes to identify Joe's body. Tyrone is perplexed when Jackie turns up, saying she's come to look after him. Trevor tells Janice he found two kittens in a bin. Janice agrees to let him keep them in the flat. Leanne's amused, knowing that Janice is allergic to cats. Dev and Sunita are alarmed when Grishma and Upma decide to stay a while longer. Janice struggles to control her sneezing in front of Trevor. Gail and Tina enter the mortuary and are overcome with grief at the sight of Joe's body. They take small comfort in knowing that his suffering is over. Tina sings the lullaby Joe used to sing to her before breaking down.
