Minty confronts Dawn about her affair
Garry walks into the living room above The Vic to find Phil alone, completely unaware that Dawn's hiding half-naked behind the door. While Garry asks Phil for advice on keeping Dawn interested, she takes the opportunity to slip out. Dawn returns to the flat and is confronted by Minty about her affair. Dawn admits that she has no idea what she's playing at - she doesn't even love Phil. As Manda and Minty's taxi arrives to take them out, Minty reminds Dawn that the next time Garry's car is found at the top of a cliff, it won't be a misunderstanding. Arriving at the hotel, Minty's frustrated to find that it's a twin room. Undeterred, he attempts to switch to a double.

When Manda returns to the room, he asks why she specifically booked twin beds. Manda claims that she thought that he had cold feet and maintains that he probably sees her as 'old stock' anyway. With that in mind, Minty takes off her specs and passionately kisses her. Squashed in a single bed post coital, Manda talks about her son Adam and insists that she never intended him to be a secret. With that, Minty confesses all about Dawn's affair with Phil and that Garry's previous attempted suicide. Shocked by the revelations, Manda tells Minty to call a taxi.

Returning to the flat, Garry walks having taken Dawn to the Car Lot as she's going to stay with her mum for a while. Bolting across the Square to catch her, Minty calls Dawn a coward for running away from her problems, but she shoots him down, saying that she's getting the brunt of his anger because he won't stand to question Phil.

Meanwhile, Shirley demands to know if the nurse has a Heather Trott on his books. Heather mouths to him that she's not there, before tearfully apologising for her friend's behaviour. A livid Shirley barges back in and demands to know why she wasn't told about the pregnancy. Back at the flat, Heather admits that she's five months gone and is having a baby girl. After an emotional and heated conversation about motherhood, they're interrupted by the nurse who has the scan photo. Heather's ecstatic by the prospect of becoming a mum, but Shirley cuts her down - she should have her baby adopted.

Elsewhere, Peggy and Pat discuss plastic surgery; Roxy discovers Dawn's skirt and asks Phil about it; Mo gatecrashes Peggy, Pat and Patrick's evening; after a discussion about the cost of going under the knife, Mo makes a call to her friend Marilyn; and Roxy's concerned when she receives a text message.
