Episode 5053 (1st August 2008)

==Plot==
Daz succumbs to peer pressure from Jake and takes Anna’s car for a ride. Anna complains to Debbie who has no choice but to fire Daz. Still eager for fun, the boys notice that one of the Kings’ vans have been left unattended and Jake takes Daz joyriding through the country lanes. However, he takes a sharp bend too quickly and the van slides off the road and slams into a tree. Both boys are unhurt but the van is in a much sorrier state. Also, Debbie is desperate for cash with Carl badgering her for mortgage payments. When her attempts to settle some accounts early fail, Debbie shares her woes with Jasmine in the Woolpack. Carl tracks her down and though agreeing to an extension on the mortgage, warns her that if she cannot pay he’ll take her garage to settle the account. Elsewhere, Jimmy secretly arranges a date over the internet and tries to hide it from Matthew. When Matthew finds out, he's amused to realise Jimmy is meeting a much younger woman and isn’t surprised when Jimmy is stood up. Confiding in his brother that an older woman also gave him her number at the restaurant, Matthew goes behind Jimmy's back and calls the prospective admirer.
