Synopsis
Robbie's feeling optimistic, but how long will the happiness last? Nancy has questions for Frankie, while Furnando goes missing.Plot
Vicky rings the new number in front of Freddie and is shocked to realise that the person blackmailing her out of £5,000 isn't him. Furnando's been digging in Jeremy's allotment and he isn't happy about it. Ro's been released on bail. Diane and Tony learn from Anthony that he and Arlo were bullying Ro a while back. Robbie's thankful to Freddie for being there for him and tells him that he couldn't have got through recent events without him. Grace notices Vicky in distress and learns that she's being blackmailed. She has an idea on how Vicky can get the cash.
Darren finds Frankie hiding at Dillon's and tries to convince her that the family needs her. Frankie tells him that she's left a message on the fridge telling everyone he's a cheat. Vicky lies to Robbie that she's found the perfect venue but needs a £5,000 deposit immediately. Robbie agrees to give her the money. She texts the unknown number that she has the money and Dillon's phone pings - he's the blackmailer. Diane tries to get Ro to open up to her. Darren manages to rearrange the fridge magnets before Nancy sees him. Ste puts posters up around the village appealing for Furnando, who's gone missing. As Jeremy passes, Ste hears the jingling of Furnando's bell collar. Marie looks into getting Arlo counselling.
Dillon gives Rex the £5,000 and explains how he got it. Rex is impressed. Nancy visits Frankie and tells her that she saw the note on the fridge. Robbie surprises Freddie with a plaque and reveals he's bought the garage back from Mercedes. Frankie plays down the note as Darren cheating in a board game. Unconvinced, Nancy asks Frankie if Darren's having an affair, admitting she had her own suspicions at Christmas. Frankie tells Nancy the truth, naming Kat and revealing how she found them in bed together at Dillon's house party. As Robbie gushes about feeling like the luckiest man alive, Freddie's unable to keep quiet any longer and reveals that Vicky used the £5,000 to pay off someone off, and the baby she lost was actually his.Cast

Notes
General
- In this episode, Robbie purchases the garage from Mercedes with the intention of gifting it to Freddie. However, in Episode 6477 (22nd October 2024), Robbie referred to Rex as "my employee of the month" for his work at the garage, which Robbie had been using as a base for his shady deals. This suggests that Robbie already had some form of financial involvement in—or ownership of—the garage, and has now taken over the remainder of Mercedes' share, but the situation was not made clear in dialogue. It is also possible that Robbie had been using the garage unofficially—possibly with Freddie turning a blind eye—meaning Rex's apparent employment was in the context of being Robbie's personal lackey, rather than one of his mechanics.
Mistakes
- Ste's poster searching for Furnando gave a last seen date of "Wednesday 19th February". 19th February is a Wednesday in 2025, but the show's time jump would place these events in 2026, where 19th February is a Thursday. The next occurrence of Wednesday 19th February is in 2031. It is likely that this is simply a mistake, rather than an intentional acknowledgement of the in-show date.
