Alison and Paul drive a confused Joe to Manchester and Pear Tree special school, which he appears to like, but back home Paul is concerned for barmaid Sophie and her damaged son Mark. Maurice, against Louise's wishes, employs her Downs Syndrome son Ralph at the brewery but is baffled when she rejects his advances and then makes a confession. Eddie, now living in Manchester, agrees to put Joe up but has an admission for Nicola whilst Rebecca is equally candid with James.
