Linda has a big birthday party at the Vic with a cake making a jokey reference to her superhero namesake, Wonder Woman Lynda Carter. Johnny uses the opportunity to introduce his new man Gianluca to the family. A smitten Johnny and Gianluca sneak upstairs and end up sleeping together. Meanwhile, feeling sentimental about having all her kids around, Linda tells a shocked Mick that she wants another baby.

Shirley is miserable when Dean turns nasty about her bringing George to the Square for a visit. Accusing her of trying to prove she's a responsible mum when she never was and never will be, Dean hurts Shirley to the core.

Tina is shocked after the power cut when she discovers Billy has let himself into their flat. It soon becomes clear he's been stealing electricity from them, but he promises Tina he'll pay back everything. Tina's a pushover and agrees to let it go, as long as he does as he says. Tosh, however, is not so forgiving.

Also, Patrick has recovered after his collapse, but scared about what happened, he tells nobody, preferring to get on with things as normal.
