As everyone gathers for Ronnie's birthday party, Carl finds himself awkwardly sandwiched between Abi and James. When Alfie knocks over his drink, Abi goes to mop it up and Carl helps. Noting their intimacy, Debbie flips and spells out to Abi that she needs to end her relationship with Carl.
Having returned to the table, Debbie advises Kevin to hire a lawyer as Abi isn't to be trusted. Unable to hear, Abi thinks the worst and sends a panicky text to Carl warning him that Kev knows, however she's horrified to realise she sent the text to Kev by mistake.
As Carl attempts to get hold of Kevin's phone to delete the text, is Kevin about to discover all?
Meanwhile, Trisha calls at the cab office to see Tim. Sally's taken aback to find her there. When she introduces herself as Trisha, Sally's quick to explain that she's Tim's wife. Sally's fuming, pointing out to Tim that not only did he miss their anniversary meal, but then she finds him entertaining Trisha in the cab office.
As Sally marches out, Tim reminisces about Trisha, revealing he was only 14 when they got together but she was nearly 20. Brian's quietly shocked.
Elsewhere, Dev struggles to mask his emotions, confiding in Bernie that he can't help feeling angry that Asha was prepared to put the family through so much pain.
