Doreen comes home and is furious. Tracy begs him to go because his staying at home implies the graffiti is true. The binmen are on strike and the rubbish is mounting up in the Grant's garden. Sheila notices that something has been at the bags. Barry suggests it might be a rat. Damon suggests getting a rat, putting it in the rubbish and taking a picture of it to sell to the papers.  More in a moment 

Meanwhile James and Lucy are in the pub together. Lucy wants them to live together. James tells her about his visit from Paul. Lucy is furious and feels it's about time they made definite arrangements. She storms into the kitchen at home and has an argument with Paul over it. He tries to explain why he thinks it's better she doesn't see James again. Lucy won't listen.  More in a moment 

He calls round, Heather thinks for the scissors, but he actually wants to ask her to dinner. She apologises (for assuming wrongly); he thinks she's apologising because she can't make it. Heather explains she's not busy and Nicholas admires her honesty. But they sort it out (thank goodness) and agree to have dinner.  More in a moment 

Annabelle comes out and asks what they're doing and they say they've seen something moving around in the rubbish. The rat is now in Harry's garden. Barry asks Terry to help him find the £1,500 to pay for the van he smashed up. Terry can't help him. Barry suggests they clear up the rubbish to make some extra money.  More in a moment 
