Part 1

THE HEAT IS ON FOR TODD Paul’s shocked to discover that he’s not been paid. In the builder’s yard, Ed admits he’s got a cashflow problem. Todd meets up with Will and tells him that he’ll need his help to steal the heat pump. Todd fails to notice Will steal his engagement ring. When Billy notices Todd’s missing ring, Todd panics and makes out he’s having it resized. Todd demands his ring back, but Will tells him he’ll get his ring when he hands over the cash. Having lured Ed out of the builder’s yard on the promise of a lucrative job, Todd borrows the undertaker’s van with the intention of using it to transport the stolen heat pump. As Todd sets about stealing the heat pump, Ed returns to the yard. He hears a noise and Todd is quickly forced to hide.

EILEEN GOES BACK TO BLACK Feeling guilty about George’s broken wrist, Eileen calls at the undertakers and offers to help out. When George asks her to help him collect a body from the hospital, Eileen’s horrified. Having collected the body and parked up the van, Eileen invites George in for lunch. Eileen and George exit No.11 and discover to their horror, the van has gone.

ALYA IS IN NO MOOD TO FORGIVE Having been summoned by Alya, a hopeful Ryan heads to No.6.

ELSEWHERE In the factory, Beth and Kirk grill Fiz about her date, but she refuses to discuss it. Maria urges Fiz to take Chris up on her offer and do the article as she’ll find it therapeutic.

When Curtis makes out that they’ve offered the Mr December top slot on the calendar to Dev, Steve falls for his ploy and argues that he’d be much more suited.

Part 2

TODD GETS AWAY WITH DAYLIGHT ROBBERY Ed locks up and leaves. When Ed reports the heat pump as stolen, Craig wonders if he’s fallen out with anyone recently and Ed immediately suspects Paul. Craig finds Paul in the Rovers, clearly drunk and questions him about the stolen heat pump. Billy and Todd watch as Craig manhandles an angry Paul into a police car.

NO ’BODY’ CAN GET EILEEN AND GEORGE TOGETHER Todd returns the van to George, making out that he borrowed the van to help out a mate in crisis and would never have taken it had he known there was a body in the back. Todd meets up with Will in the ginnel and assures him he’ll have his money in 24 hours. George tears a strip off Eileen for her son’s behaviour.

DAISY PULLS IT OFF When Ryan reveals that he’s landed a DJ gig in Val d’Isere, Daisy is quick to suggest she could go.

ELSEWHERE Emma and Curtis talk Dev and Tim into agreeing to take part in the charity calendar. Fiz meets up with Chris and agrees to do the article.
