Umm where do I start? Abi and her passport have spent the night in Kev's bed with Carl. Debbie lets herself in and then passes out whilst Abi is out getting some food and so Carl finds his sister on the floor - but there is nothing he can do as he is in Anglesey and needs to drive back. Debbie visits the hospital and is soon fighting fit (even if she was jiggeered previously) although she had the strangest dream about Carl being there when she was spark out. No I don't write this stuff but the people who do need to take a good look at themselves. Abi's best friend on t'Street Tracy (who saw Abi getting beers and thinks she is off the wagon) has worked out what the mucky devious cow is doing and demands
Similarly fictional is that all the factory customers heard that Eli is demanding a 40% price reduction and so all the other customers want the same price reduction (but without being sexually harassed by Sarah). Business does not work like that. Eli is not going to tell his competitors and if you drive a business to supply below cost then you are driving your supplier out of business (eg supermarkets and farmers). David Platt meanwhile is putting recycling in Carla's bin. Later David the dog is locked out and Lisa starts noting how often it barks (living in a terrace house is so different to living in a flat). Carla does get Eli to accept a lesser cut in prices and hopes she can achieve the same with the other customers meanwhile Sarah had better get some new business and she can cancel her dentist appointment. Sarah and Kit discuss Brody and her run in with Carla earlier in the day and just after wine o'clock Sarah decides to have a bath.
Lou gets sentenced to four years and it does not go well with the family. Later chez Metcalfe a social worker and a psychologist are visiting.

However out in the garden Shanice screams and comes in and claims that Joanie threw something at her. It ends up with Joanie being taken into care and so Brody's desire to keep the girls together has failed so he is fed up with everyone not keeping their promises. But is Joanie really to blame? Who can tell?

On and off throughout the episode we see Asha not at peace with the world and the episode ends with her sitting on the bench in hospital car park looking like she is about to have a breakdown after telling everyone that there is nothing wrong with her. No doubt all will be revealed soon.
See you next week and then I will probably be missing for two weeks as I am off to Spanish paradors (which are not to be confused with paramours).
