Dennis gets lucky... with Leanne!

Dennis encourages his pals to leave the flat and, on his own with Leanne, things get steamy... Leanne is horrified to see Dennis in her bed the next morning, but is reassured when he tells her nothing happened. However, it seems Dennis has ideas of grandeur about their relationship and Leanne has to be cruel to be kind, leaving him heartbroken. Theresa is annoyed that Joel still wants to sell his half of the club and tells her he says he wants an ordinary uncomplicated life from now on - not the glamorous 'moll' lifestyle she had in mind. At the club she catches Dodger's eye... Frankie reveals to Jack she doesn't trust Nancy with Oscar, but Nancy overhears. Nancy tells Darren what she heard, but Frankie stands by her accusation, until Darren tells her what kind of mother he thinks she is. After speaking with John-Paul, Frankie realises the error of her ways and apologises - for real. Meanwhile, Seamus continues to cement himself in the village, under the watchful eye of Brendan Brady.
