Plot

Laura is smug to find her and Ben's kiss in the newspaper article for the show. Mr. C is stunned when Mandy shows him the article about Ben and Laura. Lee sulks over his punishment for letting down his teacher's tyres. Anna prepares to send a letter to Alex. Anna bursts into tears as Ruth gossips about Ben and Laura. Les is called out to a breakdown, so he locks Lee in the garage to do work. Ruth wonders why Anna is still with Alex as he isn't standing by her. Mr. C and Theo try to convince Jack to attend their meeting with Councillor Brooks opposing the building of a halfway house nearby.

Anna makes a phone call for a meeting. Lee plays with one of the cars in the garage, causing it to produce smoke from the bonnet. Les returns and Lee makes a quick getaway before he spots the smoke. Anna meets with a vicar. Les finds Lee at Deva and the pair have an argument. Andy throws them out when Les shouts at him and Lee disturbs the customers. The vicar compares Anna to Mary and goes through her options. Jack tells Ruth that Izzy has told him about John, but she claims that John is just a friend.

The vicar wonders if Anna could repair her relationship with her father by asking for his advice. Luke thinks that Mandy is being paranoid over Ben. Lee finds an unattended lawnmower. Anna tries to get ahold of Alex, to no avail. Lee crashes the lawnmower into the barge and Les furiously drags Lee home. The vicar arrives at the council meeting to inform Mr. C that Councillor Brooks died an hour ago. As there is now a place on the council, Theo thinks Mr. C should stand.
