Trouble is brewing between Nicola and Maggie. Nicola is all ears when Jess tells her about how her dad and Maggie started their affair. Later that day, Nicola bumps in to Maggie and takes great pleasure in winding her up about her relationship with Phil. But the fun doesn't end there, and Nicola decides to put the next part of her plan in to action. She returns Phil's wallet just as he emerges from the shower.

Jack decides it's time for a change of image and enlists Diane's to help him on a clothes shopping expedition. Marc offers to help teach Gaz to read and Jason bids farewell to the village.
