|
Lisa hears Phil come in and quickly makes efforts to hide the destroyed tape. Phil apologises for his earlier outburst and Lisa offers to make him something to eat, but Phil spots the tape hidden under a cushion. Phil cannot believe what Lisa has done. He accuses her of being like Kathy - trying to take Ben away from him. Lisa wants him to ask why she did it but he just walks out on her. Mark tells Ashley about his dad's evil deeds - Ashley doesn't know who to believe. Ashley is poised outside Mark's house with the can of petrol. He's very nervous and clearly doesn't want to go through with it. Suddenly Doctor Trueman turns the corner and Ashley hides. Laura and Ian are busy in the chip shop. Terry asks them to put his business card on their bulletin board and mentions the fact that the flat behind the shop is up for rent. Laura thinks it might be their only chance but Ian's not so keen on the idea. In the Vic, Jamie is trying to take Sonia's mind off Chloe. He tells her his New Year's resolution is to make her smile. Sonia suddenly tells him to shut up and storms out! Jamie has followed Sonia outside. She admits that Chloe is all she can think about. Jamie says he knows what will cheer her up and leans in to kiss her. Sonia freaks and thinks he's totally out of line. Outside, Ashley is still trying to work up his courage. Nick's watching him from the window. Then, Mark walks out and bumps into Doctor Trueman. Mark welcomes him to the Square and they go for a drink. Ashley follows Mark into the pub but before he can say anything, Dot spots him. He tells her Nick sent him in for some beer and Dot insists on buying it. Ashley looks poised to tell her something but leaves the pub instead. Phil heads to the chip shop and goads Ian while waiting for his food. Ian tells him to get out and throws Phil's money on the ground in front of him. Phil informs him that the sooner Ian loses his house and leaves Walford, the better. In the café, Lynne has had it with Janine not pulling her weight. Janine informs her that she can stuff her job and walks out. Outside, she meets Terry and tells him if he doesn't make her his business partner, she'll go to Manchester. Terry relents. Sonia calls over to Jamie and apologies for her reaction. She'd really like to be friends and that's the most important thing. Jamie takes it well and they sit down for a chat. Ian's decided he wants to see the flat. Terry tries to gloss over all the problems until Ian mentions getting the rent assessment panel to view it. He might be down but he's not going to be taken for a ride. Ashley approaches Mark outside the Vic and asks him about Nick's past. Mark tells him how Nick tried to poison Dot and advises him to get out while he can. Ashley's clearly confused and doesn't know where his loyalties should lie. Phil arrives home and says to Lisa he'll throw down a blanket and pillow for her. Lisa begs him to let her in and that there has to be more to him. Phil asks her to get it into her head that this is who he is. Jamie insists on walking Sonia home. When they get to her door Jamie gently kisses Sonia saying he's wanting to do that for a long time. Sonia admits how much she's missed him. Ashley goes home and asked his Dad if he really poisoned Dot. At first Nick denies it but then turns on Ashley, saying he's no son of his if he couldn't even start one little fire. Distraught, Ashley goes to the phone box and rings his mum. He wants to go home. |
