Bob takes on Ingrid as a lodger

As Carol and Louie chat about where Ingrid is going to live, Carol suggests that Louie should kick Maeve McIlhinney out. Carol then gets a brainwave and serves Bob his notice, saying that Tracey wants him out of her house as she wants to help Ingrid and her children. Bob overhears that Ingrid is struggling to keep afloat, and shocks her with a suggestion that they could live together in Tracey's house with him paying the rent. Ingrid struggles with the idea, but is soon swayed with the idea of it being rent-free.

Later, Maeve tells Bob and Sean that Louie is the landlord from hell. Sean suggest to Maeve that he is looking for a housemate and she could move in with them. Dermot tries to talk Louie around letting go of Maeve as a tenant, but Louie is still adamant that he wants to move Ingrid in there. Maeve is not too annoyed as she agrees to move in with Sean and Finn.

As the day continues, Louie calls to Bob and Ingrid's house and is annoyed to see that they are getting on. Worse still, Bob tries to play happy families with the two children to annoy Louie. He tells Ingrid that she can move in to Maeve's flat, but Ingrid refuses, saying that she is getting free accommodation here and will wait until Carol's flat is free. Humiliated and deflated, Louie leaves.

Meanwhile, Pete vows not to give up on Dolores, but Wayne interferes, telling Pete to keep away from his mum. Pete and Dolores meet in the park and she tries to break off the engagement, as Pete won't accept responsibility for hurting Lucy. A heartbroken Pete refuses to take the ring, saying that he won't give up on their relationship. Pete is grateful when Laura tells him that she doesn't trust Lucy and she will support him.

Elsewhere, Paul fails to persuade Niamh that Cass is ready to go home. Later, though, Cass finally outstays his welcome, with Niamh agreeing that he should leave.
