Still reeling from making a fool of herself, Alma is embarrassed when Steven pays her a visit. She apologises profusely for her actions and Steven tells Alma that it's okay (but it's obvious he isn't interested in her). Audrey is confused at first, she wonders what's been going on between her friend and her son but then she realises that Alma must have made a pass at Steven, because "she's all big eyes and come on". Audrey goes to see Steven in his hotel to find out what happened but Steven defends Alma's honour and he tells Audrey that Alma ran out of his room distressed when HE made a pass at HER Alma tells Gail what has happened, and wonders if she should tell Mike but Gail advises Alma to keep quiet. Audrey confronts Alma and tells her that she knows what happened but is dumbfounded when Alma tells her the truth.

Andy isn't doing very well in his relationship with Ann. They go to the Rovers together but when Curly comes in, Ann is more interested in talking to Curly about work than in talking to Andy. When Des stays out all night, Andy assumes that Ann will want to stay overnight with him but Ann goes home, complaining that Andy is taking her for granted.

Mike Baldwin pays a visit to the print shop. Vicky and Steve are prepared for Mike to tell them that he's throwing them out when he opens his new clothing factory but he tells them they can stay. He wants them to think he's being nice to them, when really, he already has plans for opening a new factory because of the grants and incentives that are available from the local council. Mike finds an old file which has details of his past employees in it, he plans to contact the ones he would like working again for him in his new factory.

Mavis complains about Kelly's attitude to child-rearing after Kelly jokes that she gives Danny chocolate and crisps at mealtimes.

In the Rovers, Betty tells Jack a story about a haunted pub she visited that drew guests in to see the ghost. Jack thinks he might cash in on the fact that Ivy's ghost is floating around the place by selling his story to a local paper in the hope that it will bring more customers into the pub. Jack contacts the local paper and 2 reporters come around to write a feature on the haunted Rovers. Not one to miss an opportunity, Jack then has Vicky and Steve print some t-shirts which say "Rovers Return - try our spirits" on the front, complete with pictures of 2 ghosts, and on the back it reads "And our beers are out of this world too!" Don thinks things have gone too far and tells Jack that the exorcism wasn't real. Jack says he knows it wasn't real of course, but Vera still believes that Ivy is floating around the pub and so Don and Josie have to break the news to Vera aswell, who takes it badly.

Judy Mallet's mother makes an appearance on the street this week. She's from Gable Street - the gasworks end. She finds out there is a cleaning job going in the Rovers and is interviewed by Vera (who uses her poshest voice ever!) and then given the job. Trisha is also after the cleaning job and is furious with Jack when she hears that someone else has the job after she promised "she'd make it worth his while" to give her a job. When she said this, she placed her hand firmly over Jack's own, and you know exactly what she meant!

Denise pays one last visit to the salon as Fiona takes over her business. On her way out, Denise sees Kelly with baby Danny and there is a tearful farewell to her baby before she finally leaves.

More problems in the McDonald household. Jim is working with Bill on an old people's home but leaves Bill on his own as he goes home early to check up on Liz - he doesn't trust her enough and still thinks that she has something going on with Des. When he arrives home unexpectedly, Deidre is in the house but Liz is nowhere to be seen, she is out shopping, but Jim won't believe this. He sits and waits for Liz to return, his thoughts tormenting him, so by the time she does come back home, he is uncontrollable. He starts ranting and raving, accusing Liz of adultery implies that she has been to see Des instead of going shopping. Liz tries to calm Jim but he won't have it. Finally, Liz tells Jim exactly where she has been, to a travel agent to book a break for them both to visit Jim's mother in Belfast and she gives Jim the tickets as proof of where she has been. Jim realises what a fool he has been and breaks down sobbing into Liz's arms, telling her how sorry he is..
