Claire does well at work but has yet to inform Pete,still on tour of duty. She also discovers Pete's daughter Millie in a state of undress with soldier boyfriend Rob and promises not to tell her father provided she ends the affair. When Pete comes home he is annoyed to find that Claire got a job behind his back but he has another problem when his commanding officer Spalden tells him that Matt's brother Tom is planning to change his evidence at the inquest which is likely to discredit Pete. Later Pete hears Claire arguing with Millie,who has not dropped Rob and the affair comes out into the open but Millie's brother Sam,feeling rejected,disappears. Cheryl suggests Tasha move to Spain with her but when Tasha finds her mother in bed with Glen,her boyfriend from Spain,the two women row and Cheryl goes home alone. Paula commissions a portrait of Matt,which pleases Howard, though Paula comes to hate it as a reminder that her son will never come back.
