Will Luca be able to handle what he finds?
Meanwhile, Al Haskey (Ian Midlane) hears from an old friend, Ed Benson (Delroy Brown).
Ed needs Al's technical know-how to sort out the WiFi problems at the local community centre.
But it looks like Ed might also need Al's help sorting out his love life!
Ed is rather taken by new gardener, Liv Keane (Elinor Lawless).
Al reckons Ed should ask Liv out on a date.
But there's BIG drama when Liv's teenage son, Owen (Damien James) goes missing!
Al goes in search of Owen and tries to get to the bottom of why the teenager decided to go "missing".
