Airing on ITV1

After an extremely close call the previous day, Katie can no longer take the pressure of her fling with Robert. She is determined to end their passionate affair but unwillingly finds herself unable to resist him.

With the wedding looming ever closer, Katie is frustrated that things are spiralling out of control. She eventually tells Robert it’s over and insists she is marrying his brother no matter what it takes.

When he later sees Andy and Katie openly cuddling, fiery Robert doesn’t take the rejection well and takes his aggression out on Charity’s car in the garage.

Meanwhile, Diane is far from impressed when Val doesn’t appear to be pulling her weight at the Woolpack and seems quite content sponging off her big sister. To add to her aggravation, all the locals seem to be pandering to Val’s every need believing she has been a victim of domestic violence.

Val is later horrified when Diane decides to fill the entire pub in on how she really got her bruising, revealing that she has had a nose job.

Nicola is relieved when Simon organises a cosy night in for them both. He cooks her a romantic meal and later leads her up to bed.

ITV.COM Even Bad Boys Cry Thursday 05.02.04 Katie gets home to find Andy at home and making tea for her. She's unsettled, both by his unexpected presence and her situation, but manages to pass it off as wedding nerves. The two decide to have a quiet night of quality time together, but Katie - inspired by her chat with Chas - heads off to tell Robert it's over first. They kiss before long, but when Andy rings on her mobile Katie regains her mettle. Robert's already been told by Jack he can't have his trust money early to buy into Scott's garage, so his day's not going well. Katie drills into Robert that it's over. When Robert bursts into tears, she says he must have known this day would come. By the time Andy arrives to pick her up Robert has to hide, taking his frustration out by destroying the bonnet of Charity's sportscar.

Zoe's feud with the Dingles is still running - so much for peace when Charity is put away. She gets Scott to lean on Marlon for the rent, and a dirty look at Debbie leaves her surrounded by the whole angry clan. An attempt at firing Sam backfires, so she's after revenge. Scott is told to evict Marlon, and he comes up with a plan for dealing with the rest of the Dingle family.

Diane is furious that Val is reading the paper rather than doing any work in the kitchen, and thinks she's already wrapped Marlon round her little finger. Rodney fails in his attempts to escape speaking to Val, and the two catch up on old times, skirting round something in their past. Tempers boil over when Val drops all the cutlery and leaves Bob to pick it up. Diane has had enough of everyone coming down on Val's side and announces to the pub that they've all been conned by her sister's bruises. Demeaned Val's nose job is now public knowledge.
