Plot[]
Much to Steph’s horror, Lisa calls an ambulance and when Alan gets to hospital he is adamant that his daughter had pushed him. Worried about his mental state the nurse tries to give him a sedative. Annoyed, Alan refuses to take it and in pushing her hand away accidentally hits out at her. Later, Steph takes her father home and sternly tells him she is not taking any more risks before locking him in his room. Meanwhile, the Dingles hatch a plan to steal a couple of kegs of beer from the pub but are forced to think quickly when they are caught in the act. A variety of Dingles arrive for the upcoming reunion, including Albert who is criticised by Marlon for not bothering to show up for his wedding; and Faith, who gets a very chilly welcome from children Chas and Cain. Making a bad day worse for Chas, she argues with Carl after Chloe "accidentally" tells her about an awards do Carl kept her in the dark about. Elsewhere, Andy admits to Debbie that he misses her and says that although sneaking around wasn’t ideal it was better than not seeing each other at all. And Jarvis clashes with Ashley about Frank working in the cemetery.
