The metal detector had earlier in the week brought on a gold rush with Kirk (Andrew Whyment) and co. Now in the inquisitive hands of Chesney (Sam Aston) it indicates a strong signal in the Peacocks' back garden. Eileen (Sue Cleaver) who is babysitting there is far from happy when she finds Chesney digging away at the lawn. Kirk and Tyrone (Alan Halsall) join Chesney in the garden as the three of them continue to dig in front of a horrified Eileen. She quickly realises the large metal object is an old bomb. A panic stricken Eileen calls the authorities and the whole street rushes to see what all the fuss is about. Suddenly all havoc breaks loose, as an onslaught of soldiers and a bomb disposal unit arrive at the scene. The whole street is evacuated by the police and sent to the community centre. Liz is panic stricken because Vernon is one of the few notable absentees in the evacuation. The discovery of the bomb looks set to have a domino effect on many of the street's residents!Sean (Antony Cotton) is talking to Jamie (Rupert Hill) and is still stressed about the situation with Sonny (Pal Aron). Jamie, presuming Sean is about to end things with Sonny, gives him the keys to no.7 to invite Sonny over for some private time. After taking Sonny's number off Michelle (Kym Ryder) in the street, Sean invites him over and lets him into the house through the back door. By the time they reach the front room Sonny is already working his magic on Sean; Sonny has much more in mind than finishing the affair. He leads an apprehensive Sean upstairs into Jamie's bedroom. Later on, after seeing the presence of soldiers in the street, Sonny suggests the two should continue their afternoon of fun and frolics, as it looks like they could be there for a while. David (Jack P Shepherd), intent on Tracy (Kate Ford) fulfilling her side of the bargain, arrives at her house. He has carried out his part of the deal by agreeing to testify, and now it's time for Tracy to carry out hers.David is deadly serious and knowing this Tracy agrees to sleep with him, but only after the trial. David agrees to the deal but makes it perfectly clear to Tracy that he needs much more than just a kiss. The sudden arrival at the door of a soldier saves the day for Tracy, but has anyone spotted the liaison?

Meanwhile, Jason (Ryan Thomas), feeling flush after being paid for Jodi's job, asks if Holly (Amy/Emily Walton) needs anything. Eileen (Sue Cleaver) is heartened by Jason's offer.
