Ewan suggested that Brian moved out, so Brian went to the caravan. Deke took Hazel to the fair along with Bob and Zara. Ruth was unhappy that Rory was back in Sheildinch. Cormac was adamant that his brother should stay, so he told Ruth that Rory was HIV positive.

Lewis later relented when he realised that Alice could be at risk too. Moira was drunk in the bar and decided to tell George a few home truths about the state of their marriage.
