Andy and Steve McDonald are now the Street's own "Wills
and Harry" - products of a broken marriage. Andy goes to
see Jim and in his anger towards his father, he pushes him around
a little, he feels guilty and wonders if it's his fault that his
dad hit his mum. Jim tells Andy about his mother having affairs
especially with "Uncle" Johnny Johnson. Jim goes to
see Liz at Deidre's flat but Liz tells him that their marriage
is dead and that she wants a divorce. Roy Cropper answers the
door to Jim and stands guard as Liz and Deidre confront Jim. Later,
Roy brings Liz some flowers. Liz meets with a counsellor who advises
her to go to the police and report the beating, but Liz decides
not to. Vicky provides support for Jim, asking if she can do anything
for him, shopping, cooking etc. She goes to see Liz on her own
to ask her to reconsider divorcing Jim, but Liz tells Vicky that
they can't stay together and wonders if Vicky only wants Jim and
Liz to be her surrogate parents. After a slanging match in the
Rovers between Liz and Jim, Jim announces he is off to Ireland
to see his mother, and Jack sacks Liz from the pub. He says she
is putting the customers off their beer with her face in the state
it is, and tells her off for shouting at the customers. Liz goes
crawling to Des to ask if she can have her job back there, but
he says no, both to her request for a job and to anything else
she may be offering! Liz confides in Deidre that Des has hurt
her when he said he wasn't interested.
Fiona moves into the flat above the salon. Both her boyfriend
and Maxine feel a little left out that Fiona wants to spend the
first night in the flat on her own to assert her independence.
Fiona has a salon re-opening party arranged for later this week.
Fiona and Liz have a heart to heart and Liz tells her "I
do like Vicky, but I wish you could have been my daughter in law".
Old age gets to us all and to Percy it looks like it's taking
its toll. He's lost his best cap and has Emily searching everywhere
for it. Emily goes to Raquel's house as she is throwing out some
old clothes and Emily takes some for charity (Judy Mallet takes
some to wear!) when Emily sees Percy's cap hanging up in the hall.
Turns out that Percy gave the cap to Curly when he moved in with
him for a while, but Percy forgot all about it so Emily pretends
she found the cap down the back of the sofa.
Raquel has a secret appointment, she won't tell anyone where she
is going but promises to tell Curly first "well, he has a
right to know before anyone else does" she says. Curly puts
2 and 2 together and gets 5 and assumes that because she's been
throwing out her old clothes that Raquel is pregnant and is making
a doctor's visit. He doesn't know whether to be relieved or disappointed
when she tells him that she has enrolled on an aromatherapy course
and that is where she went for her appointment.
Mike breaks the news to Alma that he has given their flat to the
bank as collateral against his new business loan. Alma is aghast
when Mike pulls out the bank loan agreement for Alma to sign -
he's taken her for granted once again.
Vera finds out that her cleaner, Mrs. Smedly is Judy Mallet's
mother. Far from being upset about it, Vera has found a soul mate,
someone she can talk to about "our Terry" and they exchange
stories about growing up with wayward children.
Mavis and Derek are invited to the Square Dealers ladies night
dinner dance. Mavis is overjoyed until she finds out that Norris
and Angela are the ones who have invited them.
Emily is rather put out when Deidre announces that Ken has asked
her to baby-sit Danny when he goes out with some colleagues to
the theatre. When Ken returns home, he has a drink with Deidre
and they tell each other they are both lonely, and that the only
person that they can both confide in is each other. (It's quite
a moving scene!). Does this signal a re-run of the Ken/Deidre
love match? I, for one, hope so. Deidre without Ken is like a
wet fish without water.
