Theresa steps up her campaign to use Robbie as her lackey. Today she tells him she needs a set of the Salon's books - she's planned a scam in which he will act dumb when a fake estate agent comes round trying to sell the salon. If he doesn't comply, she will tell everyone that he stole the charity money on fundraising day. Robbie complies and gets her the books. She tells him that Corin will be coming round this afternoon so he better get rid of Jack and Hayley. Robbie asks her what happens next, they'll know he was involved in the scam. Theresa replies that he better leave town. Robbie realises it's his only option. Robbie fakes an electrical fault in the salon which gets rid of Jack, but he's finding Hayley harder to shift.

Later, when Hayley is telling Robbie about the wonderful day she's had with Leo, Robbie is convinced he did the right thing. However, on the way home he is attacked and beaten by two men while a menacing Theresa stands watching.

It's the day of Eileen's Emergency Responders event but she's booked the community centre for the wrong day. Hastily she rearranges it in the Tall Ship. When eventually she gets the event up and running, she finds that everyone would rather listen to Charlie run rings around Nick Morrison on the radio than watch a first aid demonstration. She is further aggrieved when Nick fails to mention her initiative in favour of Michael's, a drug scheme which does not prove popular with the locals.
