Etta shows up on the Square to collect the remainder of Hattie's belongings from Number 27. At the same time, she tries to encourage Jules to move up to Norwich with the family. Mark offers Ian £10,000 for the stall. Sanjay grows tired of having to do everything on his stall himself, so Tricky Dicky agrees to try and find someone to help him. Kathy tries encouraging Mark to attend Ian's party. Clare loves spending time with Nigel. David asks Tricky Dicky to get some offers higher than £10,000 for his and Ian's stall so that Mark cannot top them. Cindy lies to Ian and tells him she is taking him out to a restaurant for his birthday. She is excited for his surprise party. Tricky Dicky poaches Della to assist Sanjay on his stall. Etta wants an answer from Jules on whether he will move up to Norwich as soon as possible so that she can start packing. Debbie is shocked when Liam shows up again at her flat. He begs her to take him in as he has no money and has not been working, and she tells him to clean himself up while she cooks him food. Bianca and Natalie get frustrated when Tricky Dicky stops answering their hoax calls. Tricky Dicky tells David he will put an offer in for the stall. Cindy gets nervous as Ian is due back from the Vic soon and only Kathy and Nellie have turned up for his surprise party. Mark, Pauline and Shelley head to the Vic instead of to the party. Ian arrives for his party and Cindy cries at the disastrous event. Nigel shows up at Debbie's flat and is speechless to see Liam.
