Ken might still be feeling guilty over hitting Ade and breaking his nose
but Blanche rewards her hero with an Elliot's Cumberland ring for his
troubles. In a wonderful scene between Ken and Deirdre, old chestnuts
are aired and roasted when she criticises him for putting principles
before his family, and calls him a martyr. Ken takes her words to heart
and later calls the school to withdraw his resignation and with his
union behind him, goes on full-pay suspension and a cheap break to Spain
from the web. As Ken and Deirdre jet off to the sun, Blanche feels
sorry for herself at home all alone (again).
Norris and Emily hatch a plot to bring home the new Mr Wu-Two in time
for Rita returning from her cruise. But first Norris has to cross Roy's
picket line outside of Dev's shop to get Emily some tea-bags. When Roy
protests, Norris tells him in a hushed voice: "It's substance
dependence" as only the right kind of tea-bags will do for Aunty Em.
With Kirk's help Norris finds a breeder in Skipton and off he goes with
Kirk for company to pick up the new dog - which manages to look just as
ugly and mean as the first shih-tzu did. Keep that dog indoors missus,
I've just set alight to a huge roman candle. When Rita returns from
her cruise she notices straight away that there's something wrong with
Mr Wu and when he tries to take her hand off and won't sit on her sofa
and have his coat brushed, Rita decides she'd rather not have the dog
after all. She sells him for £300 to a breeder she'd met on the cruise,
which makes her quite happy but leaves Emily and Norris out of pocket
as they'd paid Kirk £450 for the dog. When the time comes to say bye-bye
to Mr Wu, Norris is the one that takes it quite badly and hugs the
little wotsit to his chest in a tearful farewell. Steady. Steady.
Don't go back to it. It might go off in your face.
Dicky does more dastardly, double crossing deeds as he nicks a frock
from Audrey's house and confuses her even more by pretending to ask her
to babysit so that when she 'forgets' she assumes it's her fault. And
of course it's not. To set her mind at ease, Audrey gets her house
locks changed which foils Richard's plans to get into her house and move
things around, that is - until she gives Gail and Richard a spare set
of keys.
At Weatherfield General, Sarah's on the mend and Todd pours out his
heart to her. He tells her he'll give up University, all he wants is to
be with her and look after Bethany. Bless. Sarah says that although
she thinks he's special, she can't be responsible for him giving up
University and missing three years of watching daytime telly while
eating pot noodle. I'm not sure when Eileen turned into
possessive-mother-from-hell but she's pleased that Todd's buckling down
to his studies and even more happy when Todd suggests they go up to
visit Oxford together. How many times do you have to be warned? If
you keep doing that with your sparkler you'll have somebody's eye out!
When Richard sits down at Gail's dinner table to sort out his finances,
out comes the laptop and the budgeting software. But when it's Roy who
wants to draw up a business plan to raise finance to extend the cafŽ,
all he needs is his trusty black and red notebook and a short stubby
pencil. If Roy extends the cafŽ, he can foil Dev at his plans to build
the amusement arcade but it means one thing that Hayley doesn't want to
hear - she'll have to give up her job at the factory and work in the
cafŽ full-time. The Croppers have their first falling out.
OOOhhh that was a big one. And finally this week, Sally and Kevin get
closer and cosy but Kevin's having trouble with their living
arrangements and wants to be a proper husband to Sally and proper father
to the girls. As Kev discusses his problems with Curly and Sally tells
all to Eileen the Webster's finally talk to each other and Kev lays his
cards on the table, hoping to come up trumps. "I want us to get
married again." he tells Sally. Fortunately, it's a game of snap, 'cos
Sal wants the same although she tells him things can never be the same
as they were that first time around before he shagged off with slapper
Nat.
And that's just about that for this week. Whoosh, fizzle, bang.
