The Platt's are back on the Street after their trip to Canada,
and Nick isn't with them. He's stayed in Canada under the supervision
of his uncle Steven and spending his inheritance from the sale
of Ivy's house on private education. "It's like a Canadian
Eton" Audrey tells everyone who can bear to listen to her.
Don isn't happy, as usual, and gives Gail and Martin an earful
about how they can't look after their son properly and then send
him away to school thousands of miles away using money which doesn't
even belong to him.
Curly is called in front of the inner rectangle (Norris and
Fred) who accuse Curly of repeating the secret oath to Jack Duckworth.
Curly is innocent but this doesn't cut any ice with the inner
sanctum and they proclaim, for it is written, that Curly must
carry out the 49 deeds as a penance for his sins. This doesn't
upset Curly too much because Raquel arrived back on the Street
this week after 10 weeks on her aromatherapy course and he's got
other things on his mind. Raquel doesn't seem pleased to back
though, will she still be satisfied with the poky little terraced
house she once called home, now that she's back up north?
Trisha goes to see Carl in prison, to tell him to leave her
alone when he gets released. She lets slip that she's pregnant
again, it's too much for Carl to take and he snaps "You're
still my wife!" and then slaps her across the face. Jamie
wants to know what caused the bruising on his mum's face and Trish
concocts a story about how she bumped into a drunk in a night-club.
"You all think I'm stupid" he tells Deirdre "But
I know what happened, and my dad will sort it all out when he
gets out of jail". Oh dear. Trisha cries to Jack and Vera
and they take her under their Duckie wing when they find out what's
happened to her. Vera even offers to pay for Trish to divorce
Carl, Jack just twiddles his glasses and talks to his pigeons.
Fiona is still very unsure whether she wants to be a singer
or not. On the one hand she has Maxine telling her to get out
of a dead end job and go for the stardom, and on the other, Alec
buys her a great new dress and then takes her to an awful pub
where she's expected to perform as his star artiste, under terrible
conditions. As her coach, Rita isn't sure that Fiona has the determination
to succeed.
After drinking the corner shop dry of whisky, Jim gets the
DT's and tells Andy that he's never going to drink again, so he
isn't. Jim and Bill make up and Jim gives back the keys to his
van to Bill, he even passes on a contact to Bill for some building
work and they're best muckers once more.
Andy moves into Anne's new house and while Andy has his belongings
in a couple of old bin-bags, Ann has hers in numbered boxes! She'll
be initialling the cornflakes and labelling the coffee granules
next, just wait and see.
Des tries to get Mavis and Derek to baby-sit Becky so he can
go out to the theatre with Claire, and so he rambles on about
how much Becky likes Mavis and Derek, and how she's especially
fond of their budgie. His plea is turned down though when Mavis
tells him that they're going to an allotment do that evening but
Mavis kindly buys another budgie for Becky as Des had said how
much she liked Beauty.
Ken gets a lift home from school (work?) from his headmistress,
who invites herself into the Rovers for a drink with Ken. This
is one pushy woman. Mind you, if she can control a school full
of yobbos then she can certainly manage to seduce and manipulate
Ken. She tells Ken that 2 members of staff have been invited to
a multimedia conference, which involves an overnight stay. One
of the staff members is Ken, and ..... what a surprise, the other
one is her!
And yes, it looks like Maureen and Bill are getting together.
At last! Even Maude approves!
