EPISODIUM
Val is released on police bail and tells Eric she’ll be pleading guilty in court the following week in the hope of a minimised sentence. As Paul is able to forgive his mother, Diane begins to wonder if she did the right thing reporting Val to the police. Meanwhile, Nicola is still annoyed that Simon misled her about his job and begs Rodney to give him a loan to fund his business venture instead. Rodney agrees but Simon refuses the gesture, realising that Nicola is behind it and not wanting to accept charity. Elsewhere, Viv has transformed her front room into wedding central but is annoyed when Donna doesn’t turn up for the lunchtime wedding summit.
