Fiz is downbeat as the reality of Hope's situation sinks in. Additionally, the financial pressure she is facing gets worse when her car breaks down. Concerned, the factory staff have a whip round to help but the total is only a drop in the ocean and Fiz knows it.
John's also at rock bottom and shows no signs of being discharged anytime soon. When a man knocks at the door revealing that he's enquiring about the death of Joy Fishwick it looks like his game is up.
As Fiz heads to the solicitor's to claim Joy's inheritance, she tries to convince herself she's doing it for Hope. However, Fiz is uneasy as the solicitor offers his condolences and explains that he represented Joy for 30 years. As they go through the paperwork, there's always the fear that the solicitor will stumble upon John's crime. Not only that but Fiz is going to have to find a way out of attending Joy's funeral the next day.
Meanwhile, Peter apologises to Leanne for his recent behaviour and admits he's frustrated that he hasn't been able to consummate their marriage. His mood worsens when the doctor admits the nerve damage may be permanent.
Alone, Peter battles his demons but Carla catches him as he plans to hit the bottle and she tries in vain to help him. Later realising he's in a mess, Peter calls Nick - begging him to come and help sort him out before Leanne discovers what he's done.
However, when Nick pretends he can't hear him, it's Carla that Peter calls next. Carla has to decide whether to bury her feelings and help Peter save his marriage or to be selfish and look after her own interests, as Nick is clearly doing.
