Episode Guide

Billy reassured Della about their future together on the opening day of their salon; 'Moda vida'. Alice was shocked when Deke revealed that he was going to be a trainee in Billy's business. She was suspicious of Billy's interest in Deke, especially since he knew he wasn't Deke's father. Billy confessed to Alice that Della doesn't know he's thousands of pounds in debt. Brian turned up at the Ship to help Eileen. Hazel angrily told Brian that she'd only made friends with him for Eileen's sake.

Later, Brian couldn't resist sneaking into Hazel's bedroom. He looked through her things and stole a bottle of perfume. Gina received a call from someone claiming to have evidence that might help Jo. But when she met 'Alec Collins' later, Gina discovered he was making the story up in the hope he'd get some cash from her. Kelly Marie impressed Della enough to get a job in the salon on a trial basis. Stevie and Ruth accompanied Scott to the hospital for his operation, but he sneaked out once they'd left.

Roisin revealed to Shazia that she was going to buy the Maliks' Shop. Jo was shocked when Heather came to see her in prison. Heather promised she would do all she could to help and almost revealed the reason why she knew Jo was innocent. Later, JP approached Heather and once again threatened to cause harm if she didn't engage his protection services. Heather was distraught and made an anonymous call to the Police to say that Jo was innocent.
