Deano attempts to spur Kevin into pursuing Denise. He points out that Owen's younger and knows her better. Kevin refuses to take the bait until Deano mentions Owen was at the Fox house that morning. Jean answers the door and returns with a bunch of flowers. Stacey's stunned to see Bradley behind her. Jean's impressed to hear that he works in the city. Bradley earns brownie points by unblocking her sink. Jean takes a shine to Bradley. She reckons that he has a kind face and will take good care of Stacey. Keen to speak to Bradley alone, Stacey sends her mum off to the pharmacy. Kevin calls at the post office on the pretence of buying stamps. He makes it plain to Denise that he doesn't trust Owen. Denise wonders if Kevin's worried about her or Squiggle. Owen treats Squiggle to a secret junk food feast. He claims that Denise doesn't need to know everything they do. He invites Squiggle to Spain to visit her nan. Squiggle's thrilled. Stacey's furious and suspects that Bradley's just come round to see her 'crazy' mum. He argues that he cares about her and wants to help. Bradley declares that he's mad about Stacey. Ian meets a banker called Rob at the WCCT meeting. Ian lies that he's been married for two years. Rob reveals that Ian's been let into the inner circle. Later, Jane's alarmed when Ian absent-mindedly calls her his wife. Bradley admits to Stacey that he didn't want to finish with her. He needs her trust for the relationship to work. The pair embrace tenderly. Jean's delighted to see Stacey happy. Rosie's livid when Darren's caught with his mobile in an exam. Keith confiscates the phone and sends him out. At the café, Squiggle confides in Darren that she's off to Spain with her dad. Minty shows off his new scooter. Kevin's impressed with the stylish bike, but Garry mocks him. SJ announces that she'll be travelling to Germany with Minty. Garry's bitter that Minty's left him out. Stacey and Bradley return to the Branning house reconciled. Shyly, Bradley invites Stacey upstairs. The moment's ruined when Jim interrupts. The couple plan to meet somewhere private the next night.
