Louise grows suspicious of what Ben is up to. Bex seeks advice from Stacey on her relationship. Carmel grows concerned about Denise.

When Ben comes home at 4am in the middle of a storm, Louise is curious about where he’s been.

Jay tells Ben that yesterday was eight years to the day his father was murdered. He thinks Ben will always regret letting Simon go. Ignoring a horrified Louise’s entreaties, Ben touches his ‘Paul’ tattoo and says ‘let’s go’…

Denise finds Patrick enthusiastically practicing salsa with a mop. She’s feeling shattered and heads to the chemist.

When Dot asks Patrick how things are progressing, he says Claudette’s a tough nut to crack. Dot sees a stranger trying to get into the locked Launderette.
