After the gas man sorts out Eileen's plumbing there's an awkward scene
the next morning when Jason assumes he's a piece of rough Todd's picked up
in town. The gas man, embarrassed, skips out of Eileen's house
and her life with an unseemly rapid movement of his feet.
Feckless Baldwin son number two turned up this week, young Warren, with
an eye for the ladies and a bottle of wine. He tells everyone he's
playing football for Brentford Nylons and he's been sent up north on sick
leave but it turns out he's been sacked. This doesn't deter Candice
from thinking he's her ticket to the plastic life of a footballer's wife
but she soon dumps him when she finds out the truth. He also gets an
earful from Frankie and Danny when they find out too.
Sunita decides to move away, she can't trust herself to trust Dev after
he destroyed Maya's trust in him so quick and harshly. But when Dev
pledges undying love she knows she wants to stay and be with him, if for
no other reason than to get a good discount on Tunnocks.
Meanwhile, mad Maya takes Dev's news as only a scorned woman can. She
wrecks his flat, smashing everything smashable, upturning things where possible
and generally making a dogs dinner of the place before she leaves.
Dev gets Tyrone and Kirk to clean up the flat and tells them to get rid
of everything. The lads find a video tape labeled 'Tracy' behind some
shelves and assume it's a saucy tape Tracy made for Dev when they were together.
After much sniggering in the Rovers, they let Jamie and Warren in on the
secret and Jamie tells, er, Ken, not realizing he's Tracy's dad.
A horrified Ken takes the tape home to Deirdre and there's a moment where
Deirdre looks alarmed as Ken wonders if Dev has any more such tapes of his
ex-conquests. Tracy arrives and returns the tape to Tyrone and Kirk
after making Kirk bark like a dog before he runs to Les' house to watch it
with the lads, thinking they're in for 'Tracy does Salford', and not as it
turned out, highlights of India's greatest cricket moments.
Sunita goes to hospital for her brain operation. She spends the
night before the op with Dev in her flat, scared she's going to die the
next day and it'll be the only time they ever spend together naked.
Before she goes into surgery, Dev asks her to marry him and when she comes
out of the op, all having gone well, she'll probably say yes. And then Maya'll
get really, really angry; a smashed-up flat being the least of Dev's worries.
It's the first match for the ladies bowls team. They're all dolled up
with Jack in a panama hat and the girls in white and black outfits only
to find the opposing team in shell suits and jeans. When Eileen takes
a call on her mobile phone she's disqualified on a rule that didn't apply
last time Jack played the game and she forfeits her turn - but as you always
knew she would, Hayley saves the game. However, tragedy strikes later
when two of the team drop out as Shelley does her back in and Janice sews
her fingers together at work. It could have been worse, she could have
had them up her nose at the time.
Audrey sacks Sarah from the salon, prepared no longer to tolerate her
laziness even if she is her granddaughter. Gail isn't best pleased.
"But what did you do?" asks Gail. "Nothing!" says Sarah, which perhaps
was her problem. Mind you, there was a great scene in the salon this
week when Sarah takes a phone call and goes "Eeew, no, we don't do that."
before hanging up on the caller. Audrey reprimands her, reminding her
they do anything the customer wants them to do, and asks what was it, exactly,
that the customer wanted? When told it was Frankie Baldwin wanting
a Brazilian, Audrey has to agree: "Eeew, no, we don't do that."
But anyway, Gail seethes at Audrey, telling her if she doesn't beg Sarah's
forgiveness and re-employs her, she'll never see her family again.
But after a quiet word with Martin, Gail starts to see sense and makes up
with Audrey by the end of Monday night's second episode, which is always a
drag, two episodes where one will do. It's like 'buy one get one free',
without the quality of two for one, just the time and expense of dragging
it home in the car when you only have space for one anyway but you think,
oh no, I'll get two 'cos it's economical. And then you open the car
door and one of them drops on the floor and smashes and you end up wishing
you'd only seen one episode 'cos one would have done, really it would.
Emily gets a court summons for non-payment of council tax in protest at
the Alf Roberts Memorial Fountain. Spider would be proud of her but
Norris is scared witless she'll be sent to prison. "I know what it's like,
I've seen Bad Girls." he says, and he pays the summons for her. Emily
assumes Audrey's paid the bill and gives her an earful but later has to
apologise. And after a trip to the Council, she gives Audrey the bad news
that the Alf Roberts memorial fountain has been voted out and the Alice
Studwick memorial public lavvies has been voted in.
And that's just about that for this week.
