Lisa thinks Louise is going delusional and promises to help her get better. Linda is informed by the sexual health clinic that she does not have HIV. Billy finds Honey's breakfast in the bin. It is Kat's 50th birthday and she is determined not to celebrate it. Lisa tells Ben and Phil about Louise's delusions. Phil is surprised to learn it was Martin who dealt with Keanu and tells Ben he is going to deal with Lisa. Sonia lies to Martin and tells him George does not remember anything. Rainie decides she is going to help Callum move on from Ben. Phil tells Lisa the truth about Keanu. She goes berserk. Ollie's teacher wants to keep a mood diary for him. Billy removes the locks to the bathroom at Number 18. Ash finds Honey in the café and gives her a pregnancy test. Dotty helps Leo with a sale on his stall and asks for a job off the back of it, telling him she does not think he is like what everyone else makes him out to be. Mo tells Kat all of their cleaning jobs have been cancelled - a northerner has been calling around slagging the business off. Shirley refuses to let the hotel booking with Linda go, despite Mick believing her. Linda sneaks to the cellar and drinks vodka. Kat confronts Leo over the phone calls. Kush informs Whitney that someone has told Mr Lister about Kat working on her stall unlicensed. Honey is relieved when the pregnancy test comes back negative. Ash tells her she has been missing her periods because of her eating and lectures her on the damage she is doing to her body. Linda waves her drink in Mick's face to prove it is non-alcoholic. He believes her, but smells vodka on her breath. Tina hands Linda a letter informing them that the Queen Victoria has won Best Pub 2020 and the first prize is a boat party on the Thames for them and the regulars. Honey is deeply unimpressed to learn Billy has removed the locks on the bathroom. Jean, Kat, Kush and Whitney laugh at Habiba hosting a 50th party for Mo. Ben catches Callum talking to a man in the café and tells the man to jog on. Callum disapproves of his intervention. George latches on to Sonia's fear as he tells her that he has reported a Martin to the police. He then tells her that he has not spoken to the police and wants £10,000 for her silence. Honey tells Billy that she and the kids will be moving out. Shirley and Tina catch Linda in the cellar. Shirley warns Linda she will keeping an eye on her every move. Callum tells Ben he was not on a date, but was actually talking to a contact about getting into the police.

Dialogue[]
Callum Highway: What gives you the right to just swan in and out of my life whenever you want? Tell me who I can date, who I can sit with? What am I to you? What, just some little project you can pick up and throw away whenever you want to?
Ben Mitchell: I'm sorry. Won't happen again.
Callum: That was Jack’s mate, Ben. [...] What, do you really think I could just move on that quick? I'm not scared, Ben. What, a few stolen cars, or some dodgy car deals, a black eye and a few stitches here and there. What, do you think that scares me? I thought about it a lot when I was away [...]. I ain’t gotta agree with everything you do but I can handle it. For you Ben, because I love you.
Ben: Listen I can't…
Callum: No! [... ] You give me one good reason why we can't just be happy, one proper reason and I will walk away.
Ben: Because a man's dead. A man's dead because of me.
Callum: What you mean? Who's dead?
Ben: You know how I feel about you, Callum, you know, but I meant what I said. You're too good for me and this ain't just a few stolen cars and a black eye. It's more than that and it always will be. Now you sit there and you tell me that you ain't scared. Now you sit there you tell me that you'll love me no matter what. Now's your chance. Prove it.
