Episode 5572 (1st April 2010)

==Plot==
The police tactfully begin their enquiries as Ashley recounts what happened between him and Sally. It's clear, though, that Laurel's struggling to cope. Later, the police search the house, while Laurel informs Doug about what's happened. Doug, however, can't help but feel that Ashley brought the whole situation on himself. Sandy's supportive when Ashley reveals why the police are at the house. Later, as Ashley heads to bed, Laurel remains positive and tells Doug that Sally won't get away with what she's done. Meanwhile, Charity gives up on the domestic act and heads to the pub where she tries to talk David into hiring a cleaner for her. Later, though, a cash-strapped Charity takes a last-minute job from Carl. Elsewhere, Eli shows Olena how not to cook and it's clear that they're growing close. At the Dingles', Sam discovers a letter for Olena from her home country and insists on hand-delivering it to her. Sam's put out, though, when she excitedly shows Eli the letter. Also, Charlie buys Natasha a drink in the pub; Victoria enjoys her birthday tea; and Andy quietly tells Diane that he's thinking of renting a place of his own.
