Debbie meets a mystery man in the café

Bob's unmoved by Terry and Jamie's appeals that he should visit Viv but eventually concedes and sets off to the prison. However, at the last minute, he decides not to go through with it and is force to lie to Terry on his return. He heads home to reflect on his cowardice but is disturbed by Gennie's unexpected appearance.

Bob admits to Gennie that he couldn't bring himself to visit Viv and that he has to accept that he's already lost her. As Gennie drops a wine cork on the floor Bob tries to retrieve it and the pair clash heads. Gennie takes Bob's face in her hands to check for any damage and when their eyes lock, Gennie moves in for a kiss.

Bob reciprocates and the moment becomes more passionate, before inevitably taking them to the bedroom. Has Bob made a huge mistake?

Meanwhile, relations are sour between Val and Pollard. Things don't improve when Val ignores her husband's protestations and goes on an extravagant spending spree. Val attempts to make light of their financial difficulties but Pollard states the reality in plain detail.

Also, Debbie's narked when a mysterious stranger queue jumps at the café. When she kicks up a fuss, he apologises and introduces himself as Michael Conway - a supplier of the Home Farm shop. There's a clear mutual attraction between them, which is again sparked when they meet again in the Woolpack later that day.

Any resumption of their conversation is foiled, however, when Cain enters and reveals that he's booked Debbie and Sarah a holiday. Debbie's grateful and pecks her dad on the cheek - a gesture that induces jealousy from an unenlightened Michael. Has circumstance lost Debbie a potential admirer?

Elsewhere, Turner's old friend Eddy pays him a visit before his trip around the world.
