Episode 10222 (13th January 2021)

## Plot

**Part One:** Peter steals a bottle of whisky from the bar and knocks it back as Carla begs him to stop. He tells her that drink is all he can think about and he craves it incessantly. Jenny walks in on them and sees the bottle. Yasmeen gives Asha a pep talk about taking control of herself and is thanked for her words. Jenny asserts that living in a pub clearly isn't helping and tells Peter he needs to find somewhere else to live. Nina urges Asha to carve her own path and not let the likes of Corey bully her. Tim quizzes Faye about the rucksack and wonders if she knows anything about the attack on Adam. Struggling to keep a lid on her anxiety, Faye denies all knowledge. Daisy receives a text from Lee dumping her. Jenny agrees that she can move into Peter's room. Asha refuses Corey's pressures to go upstairs to her room. He sees her wearing the choker again he orders her to remove it. Peter turns up at No.1 with his bags and Carla announces to the family he's drinking again.

**Part Two:** Corey asserts it's the end of their relationship if she doesn't comply about what she wears. Asha stands her ground and Corey goes as she tries to hide her upset. Against Tracy's objections, Ken tells Peter he can move back in on the condition that he stops drinking but Peter says he can't. Ken tells him to leave. Tim asks Faye outright if she is covering for Gary. She again denies any involvement and runs out of the room. Peter walks off with his bags as a crying Carla runs after him, crying for him to come back. He tells her that he's sick of her false shows of affection. Simon's pleased when Dev offers him an evening job delivering fish and chips, at the same time that Aadi begins working for his empire. Simon assures a worried Toyah that he and Leanne are managing. Back at the flat, Leanne hasn't found it in herself to venture out yet. Aadi isn't pleased when Dev insists that they watch Sunita's favourite Bollywood film on his birthday but Asha agrees to his wish. Tracy assures Ken that Peter will come to his senses but in the ginnel, Peter slumps against a wall and knocks back whisky.
