Further details

The day that Julie has been dreading arrives. Gavin is checking out of Valco for pastures new and, to make matters worse, Julie doesn't make the best first impression on his replacement, Lorraine.
Butcher Kieran, meanwhile, seems to be enjoying life as a married man, but fleeting glances towards a certain vacant till suggest otherwise. From unrequited romance to one hotter (and messier) than a melted cheese toastie, Lisa and Colin have become a lot closer...
