Billy defiantly sets Janet’s passport alight, declaring they can’t go to Canada now. Honey snaps that Billy’s not exactly father of the year; Billy retaliates by pointing out Honey wanted to give Janet away. Honey declares she wishes she’d never met Billy, before dissolving into tears. Feeling awful, Billy comforts Honey, promising to be a better father if they stay, but Honey’s resolute. Billy recalls Honey always said she’d never stop him seeing his kids. Honey insists moving to Canada is a proper chance for her and the kids - she’s had to cope alone as a single mother for years. Billy suggests they could have a different chance as a proper family again.

Honey admits she did love Billy, but regrets she can’t trust him. Honey heads off to sort out an emergency passport for Janet, leaving Billy crying on Lola’s shoulder. Billy despairs that he’s pushed Honey away and he’s a useless dad. Lola urges Billy not to give up. Meanwhile, Linda encounters a tearful Honey at the tube station and offers her a sympathetic ear. Lola rants to Jay about Honey, and Jay suggests having a special night for Billy. In the café, Honey vents to Linda; she never gets a break from coping with the kids, which Billy can’t understand. Honey admits part of her will always love Billy but is desperate for a fresh start. Lola enters and rages at Honey for being so selfish, Jay pulls her away.

Upset, Honey admits Billy does try but refuses to miss out on an opportunity just to spare Billy’s feelings. Back at the flat, Billy gives Janet Honey’s wedding ring. William wishes they could stay with Billy. In the café, Honey thanks Linda for listening, and knows she has a decision to make. Meanwhile, Lola and Jay arrive home with chips to find Billy’s flat empty and a note ‘Sorry’. At the Arches, Billy straps Janet and William into Phil’s car. Informing the excited kids they’re going on holiday, Billy starts the engine and drives away from the Square.

Over darts, Tosh confides that she wants to settle down and have kids, but feels Tina will panic if she brings it up. Alfie can’t help feel for Tosh and suggests she could always have a kid on her own. Tosh realises she doesn’t want a family without Tina, and, on Alfie’s advice, heads off to find her.

Back at their flat, Dean slates Tosh to Tina, insisting she sucks all the fun out of things. Tina defends Tosh, insisting she likes feeling needed. When Tosh arrives home, Tina makes a heartfelt apology. When Tosh asks Dean to give then some time alone, he remarks that Tina’s right – Tosh is needy. Fuming, Tosh storms out.
