But when Lisa tries to confront the woman she blames for her friend's death, she is stopped by Louise.

Mel's funeral takes place but Lisa is against Sharon being there. Louise reveals that Sharon paid for the funeral so Lisa accuses her of doing it out of guilt and bans the Mitchells from the funeral. At the wake, Phil sees Sharon comforting Jack and later, Lisa makes a speech in which she announces that Mel died because she knew that Phil is not the father of Sharon's baby. Gray opens up to his therapist, Roz, about his abusive father and admits that he takes his anger out on Chantelle but Chantelle ends the session when Roz asks what he means. Chantelle and Gray then decide to renew their wedding vows. Billy tells Honey that he is worried about Karen getting into debt. Martin hears this and tells Billy that Ben is behind it, so Billy tells Ben to call off the debt or he will tell Phil what he has been doing, even though Ben says he is no longer involved. Billy then tells Karen that the debt is clear. Mick suggests that he and Linda give up unhealthy food and drink before Christmas, including alcohol. Mick finds out that Mitch went on a date with Ollie's teacher, Miss Gardner, and asks for his help to get Ollie the Learner of the Week award as he has never received it and it is causing stress for Linda. Kheerat tells Jags to get a new client so he plants rat droppings in the salon but Sheree realises it is a con and refuses his services. |
