Things are underhand at Underworld as the girls work overtime and things
get overheated. As the girls nip out to the Rovers, Kelly and Danny get
to grips in the gusset department but they're caught out as the girls walk
back in. Not wanting news of this to get back to Frankie, Danny tells
Kelly their little fling is over but son Jamie hears on the grapevine what
his dad has been up to and tries to bribe dad to keep things schtum from
his mum.
While Dev mopes about the shop and makes the place look untidy, Sunita's
mum is desperate to get her daughter out of prison. She concocts a
plan to persuade the reluctant taxi driver to identify Maya as the woman
who passed herself off as Sunita and the guy eventually agrees. In a showdown
at the Rovers, Maya's unmasked for her marital misdemeanours by Mr Duggan.
However, the police need her identified in an official line up so Dev and
Sunita's mum's plans were for nowt. As Dev howls at the moon down
at the cop shop, in walks one of the blokes that Maya has married, saying
he wants to give evidence against her. Maya ends up arrested, Sunita
is freed and there's hugs, tears and kisses outside of the prison when Dev
goes to collect her. Sunita insists on returning to work in the shop
but this doesn't stop the gossip that goes on around her and she agrees
to a few days off with a box of Tunnocks teacakes.
Cilla and Les' spa bath upsets Norris and Emily as the grinding, whirring
noise makes its way through the walls and into their nightmares. It
sounds like a washing machine that's got a bag of spanners on a final rinse,
or like a Tardis in need of a bit of WD40. And in order to get the
bath into the bathroom, the toilet is now in the yard.
Blanche gets the family onto a TV game show called Top of the Tree, and
drags all of the Barlows to London. They need seven people to qualify
to take part in the show so along with Ken, Deirdre, Blanche, Tracey and Amy
(who answered a question, correctly, about TellyTubbies) they rope in Liz
to come along, who also brings Steve. Now, Karen's gone away to Dublin for
the weekend to stay with Linda Sykes and she's took twenty seven pair of
shoes. Steve is aghast that anyone could need so many shoes or
indeed, how shoes could be so important to someone. Ah, what the heck,
one more time, shoes. So there they are, on the quiz show and they've won
six grand when Steve is in the spotlight to gamble the winnings for a car
that's worth seventeen grand and his star subject tonight, is, you guessed
it, shoes. Well, never. He's allowed a phone call and he chooses to ring
Karen but of course can't tell her why he wants to know about shoes, can't
tell her that he's on a quiz show or that he's in London with his daughter's
mother and his wife's arch rival for his affections. So Karen doesn't
realise her side of the phone call can be heard by the audience and she rattles
on about getting Steve's keks off when she gets home and how she's feeling
soooo fertile. "Er, Karen? Shoes?" Steve reminds her. Karen
gives him the right answer, the car is won and Steve swears everyone to secrecy,
Karen can't know what's gone on while she was away. In the London
hotel Tracy comes on to Steve and you can tell he's kind of tempted, his
taste does tend to run to tall, dark and manic. With Steve back in
Weatherfield and Karen back from Dublin, Blanche spills the beans to Karen
about the London trip which leads to much arguing in the flat and Steve
wringing hands and rolling eyes around in despair.
It's Sophie's 10th birthday and Sally throws a party but is only
interested in Rosie's friend Gemma from posh Oakhill School. Not happy
with the guinea pig that her parents have bought as a present, Sophie raffles
it off at the party, and who can blame her? Anyway, Gemma's parents
invite Sally and Kevin for drinks round at their place and Sally's in her
element because it's a right big house and the couple are down to earth.
Kev's not best pleased though when Sally whitters on about how one day they
too could turn out to be like the Davenports (for that was their name).
He tells her he's happy enough being a Webster, but it's clear that will
now never be enough for our Sal, not now she's had a whiff of the Davenport's
French patio doors.
Janice and Patrick finally go on their date but it turns into a bit of
a disaster when Neville goes missing. Patrick's dad Neville, a hulk
of a brute has escaped from the house but when Patrick catches up with it,
it knocks Janice over and scratches her chest. Personally, I think
there's something applaudable about a bloke that carries a picture of his
pet dog on his mobile phone, but Janice, perhaps more of a low-maintenance-goldfish-as-a-pet
sort of a girl, doesn't agree.
Jack bumps into his mate from his pigeon days in the Weatherfield Arms
and he blames feminism for making him get rid of the cree. The mate
from the pigeon society tells Jack he's looking for new members and would
like to recruit Jack back into the nest and under his wing "It would be
a bit of a coup". he says. "A coup?" says Jack. "A coup." says the fella.
They hatch a daft plan to get Jack's pigeons reinstalled at number nine by
pretending that the Duckie's house has been chosen to open as a museum of
industrial life. Vera falls for it, for now.
And that's just about that for this week.
