Louise stumbles across some of Annabelle's private things. Tracy disagrees with Julia about what Doreen should do. Harry is irritated by the amount of time Lana is spending on his telephone.

Louise promises not to tell anybody else about the contents of Annabelle's letters, but can she keep a secret? Michael takes Alison for a meal at his father's restaurant.

Annabelle cannot convince Louise to name the guilty party. Just back from the Emerald Isle, Sheila is not so green about Bobby once Doreen has had her say.

Sue wants to make sure that she will be able to hear her new baby puke from anywhere in the house. Harry acquires a new lodger, and assures him that it's the colour of his money that he is interested in. Doreen admits defeat and leaves again.

Annabelle stands firm when Louise's father comes to take her away. It's Rod's first day at CID, and he is given a rough ride. So is Mick when he agrees to give Harry a driving lesson, and so is Jonathan when he buys Cheryl a car with child safety harnesses in the back seat.
