Brief Encounters - Season 1 Episode 5

Three weeks have passed and Nita's son Richie has gone missing with his father's share of the stolen money. However Nita and Kieren join the others for Dawn and Russell's wedding. At the registry office Steph gives Terry some home truths having learned that Lisa is pregnant, most likely by him, but at the reception Brian is a hero, not only acting as father of the bride to give away a grateful Dawn but buying off her real father, the hateful Len, who arrives demanding to take back Stanley. Pauline blanks Johnny whilst Nita encourages him that Steph is worth fighting for but unfortunately a real fight breaks out when Terry catches his wife kissing Johnny before storming off. Pauline lies to Johnny and then to Steph in an effort to keep the young man out of her life whilst Hellie has a confession to make to Dawn. Back home Nita is shocked when Kieren tells her that he so admired Brian's gesture at the wedding he feels he should give himself up. However they are interrupted by Richie, who has returned with an unwelcome companion.
