Cain and Maisie kiss

Jimmy is frustrated with Carl's stance on Cain's offer. Cain visits Pear Tree and issues a last-minute ultimatum for them to accept his offer for the garage. Against his brother's wishes, Jimmy takes the money and gives Cain exactly what he wants.

Misreading the situation, Edna and Scarlett beg the Kings not to involve themselves in one of Cain's crimes. Carl is touched when Edna states her belief that they can haul themselves out of financial trouble without his help.

Debbie, meanwhile, is annoyed to discover other people have been negotiating over her business but is also relieved the matter is closed. Can Debbie get on with her life?

Elsewhere, Maisie attempts to rearrange her date with Cain, much to Nathan's consternation. She invites Cain around to inspect Natasha's car and purposefully pops the tyre before his arrival. He soon realises what Maisie's up to and they soon start flirting again.

Later, Nathan's unable to contain his fury when he pulls into the drive to witness Maisie leading Cain indoors. He interrupts the pair before anything happens and as Cain leaves, Maisie tells her brother to stay out of her business. Later, she lies about going clubbing and meets Cain in a hotel room. Finally alone, Cain leans in for a long-awaited kiss.

Meanwhile, David is put out when Edna organises a drop-in session so his constituents can speak to him. After being bothered with Shadrach's harebrained schemes and Betty's views on dog dirt, David's had enough.

Worried about Pollard's self-esteem, Val encourages David to ask Pollard for help on how to keep his constituents at bay. Pollard is happy to give his son a few much-needed tips. Will Pollard realise David is humouring him?
