Summary[]

It's May Day Bank Holiday and Melanie goes on a picnic with Ian and his family. Dot buys herself and Lilly personal attack alarms.

Steve asks Matthew about him going home with Teresa the other night. Matthew says he doesn't want anything heavy at the moment. Steve is amused and says "maybe we're not so different underneath after all". Teresa drops into E20 looking for Matthew but Steve tells her that he's not there. Steve then lets Matthew know that he should drop by the restaurant later to see her.

Melanie goes round to see Ian and the kids. She had promised to go to the park with them, but Ian is angry that she's moved out. Steven still wants her to come though, so Ian relents. Unaware of the tension between them Steven asks Ian why Melanie doesn't live with them anymore. Ian just responds that she's got her own house now. Melanie bonds with Ian's kids as they have a picnic in the park.

Josie has done most of the setting up in the bar after Nina arrives late for work. She had been up all night trying to study. Josie puts up signs in the pub advertising a happy hour, something she had arranged before Peggy went away. Grant is not amused. Josie tries to get Grant to include cocktails at the happy hour and Grant complains to Nina that Josie has overstepped the mark.

Dot is concerned for Lilly. When she asks what's wrong, Lilly confesses that Gareth attacked her. Alex is looking for Lilly who hadn't responded to a note he had put through her door. He brings her some lilies to apologise for the Gareth episode. Dot tells Alex that Bridge House should be shut.

Phil looks after Courtney as she's got a cold. Courtney becomes ill. Grant rushes over to Phil's to see if she's all right. Sue is in the pub at lunch time looking for Barry; she seems very keen! Sue turns up on Barry's doorstep catching him loafing around in the living room. He had forgotten the time they were supposed to be meeting. Pat offers her a cup of tea whilst Barry smartens himself up as he's going to take her to lunch at Guiseppe's. Barry and Sue return from their date. They tell Pat that they went to see an exhibition at the Tate gallery. Barry seems keen to get rid of her and doesn't even see her to the door.

Guiseppe's is busy, but Teresa refuses to help. Matthew drops in to see Teresa. Rosa seems pleased and wants to know more about him. Teresa asks Matthew out on another date. He's surprised as he thought it was a one-off. Gianni doesn't look too pleased. Teresa tells Rosa she's going to go out with Matthew and that he's going to buy a scooter. Matthew gets his new scooter but he won't let Teresa ride with him until he passes his test. Steve notices and remarks that they seem very cosy.

Dot notices an attractive blonde woman arriving on the Square. Matthew seems intrigued also. Phil remembers her as Claudia, Saskia's sister, who is looking for E20, and to find Steve. Having found out that Claudia is Saskia's sister, a frantic Matthew rushes over to E20 to warn Steve. Steve receives a nasty shock when Claudia tells him that the police may have found Saskia.
