It's win-win for Lee right now and he loves every minute of it: making Lenny squirm and growing closer to Amber. Lenny's day gets worse when Walden (the guy he fleeced with the paintings) turns up in Shieldinch. Lydia subtly tries to get Amber to back off from Lee, but it goes wrong when Amber tells her mother to mind her own business. It's a similar story when Lenny threatens Lee, but knowing he's got Lenny between a rock and hard place Lee is unfazed. When Gina agrees that an attraction between Lee and Amber is possible Lydia tries to dismiss it, but her worst fears seem to be confirmed when she watches Lee and Amber getting closer. Walden catches up with Lenny and demands his money back. Lenny refuses and warns Walden to stay away. Initially, Lenny is furious when Lydia tells him about Lee and Amber's inappropriate behaviour, but he quickly realises it might be the perfect excuse to get rid of Lee - permanently. Meanwhile, Ewan is worried when Walden threatens to go to the police. However, Lenny fronts it out and, calling his bluff, agrees to pay Walden. Lenny is a totally different man in private and alone with Ewan he openly considers killing Walden as Ewan does his best to talk him out of it. The next phase of his plan kicks in when Lenny tells Lydia that Lee owned up about being attracted to Amber, but has agreed to go and stay with friends for a while. Lydia is thanking Lenny for everything he's doing when Lee returns. Lee tells Lydia he's going away, but that he'll be popping in from time to time, and it dawns on Lenny that this threat is never going to go away. Lenny meets Walden but, rather than give him money, he kills him. Ewan is shocked that Walden is dead, but more horrified when Lenny reveals the truth about Lee being an imposter, and then tells him that it's up to Ewan to 'erase' Lee. Ewan's unsure if he wants to prove his loyalty to his father in this way. Later, a bloodstained Ewan emerges from the shadows, but has he been able to carry out Lenny's wishes? Bob's being driven to distraction with constant itching, and his worst fears are confirmed - it seems he's got pubic lice! When Nicki notices Deek being short with Bob she is puzzled by their odd behaviour. Her suspicions are compounded when Stella notices something, but Deek is quick to play it down - everything is fine. Stella has a quiet word with Deek all the same and Deek suggests he's willing to forget about Bob's indiscretions abroad as long as it never happens again. Bob would love to agree, but things have taken a turn for the worse... he's got crabs and he needs Deek's help. Deek laughs at the thought of going to the doctor's with Bob, but seeing Bob's pain, eventually agrees. However, when they lie to Stella her suspicions grow. Back at the flat and both Nicki and Stella are more than a little curious about where the boys have been, but this is nothing compared to when Stella finds the STD cream. Bob is mortified and just as he's about to come clean and admit all, Deek steps in and takes the blame. Stella walks out of the room - how could he? Deek tries to laugh it off with her, but when she has a go he bites back and says something truly hurtful about her time on the streets. When Bob comes through to thank him, Deek is furious with him and storms off, leaving Bob feeling awful. Murray has a hill walking surprise for Eileen and while Gina would love it, she knows her sister will hate it. True enough, Eileen wants some Murray time, but not in the great outdoors, and she soon makes her excuses, roping Gina into attending the walk instead. Gina's reluctant, but soon finds herself in all of her walking gear. When Gina and Murray return from their hike it's clear they've had a great time in the hills. Over a well-earned drink Murray reveals his secret Valentine's treat for Eileen - he's booked a camping trip up north for them both! Gina hides her laughter, she knows Eileen will hate this, but can't say anything to Murray. When Eileen joins them and learns of her 'treat' she quickly covers by saying they can't leave Gina on her own on Valentine's Day, lying that it's the day her first husband dumped her. Gina is aghast, but can't say anything. However, this is nothing to Eileen's face when Murray has a brainwave! Why don't they all go, all three of them together? It'll be great! Both sisters are gobsmacked, but what can they say? Reluctantly, they both agree to go, but for very different reasons.
