I'll start with the important stuff first so it's straight down to
Weatherfield General where Nurse Platt finally, finally, walks in to
find his daughter Sarah in the intensive care unit. Sarah's in a coma,
Gail's in a state, Candice is in tears after a grilling from Richard
about telling the truth to the police (although she never does), Ade is
indoors too scared to go out and I was in bits after David's heartfelt
plea to his sister for her to get better soon. When Ade does venture
outdoors Richard collars him on the cobbles and gives him a throttling
which was pretty scary but nothing compared to what Gail did to him
next. Bloody good acting. Anyway, in the Corrie traidtion, Sarah does
get better, oh yes. But when she first opens her eyes Gail has to
wonder.... the lights are on but is there anybody home? Indeed there
is. The tubes come out and Sarah sits up in bed in the recovery
position, as the memory of what happened comes flooding back to her.
After she makes a statement to the police, Ade gets arrested at
Weatherfield comp and he's accompanied to the station. Ken breathes a
sigh of relief that Ade's behind bars so can't believe his eyes when
later that day Ade turns up behind his classroom desk. Ade winds Ken
up, really winds him up, and taunts Ken with being a 60's liberal, the
likes of which allowed leniency in the law in the treatment of juveniles
- laws which have released him on bail and out of jail. It's too much
for Ken to stand, knowing what Ade had done to Sarah and he lashes out
at the lad, knocking him off the table and onto the floor with a bloody
nose. Ken's distraught at his behaviour (although young David goes
"respeck") and immediately goes to the Head. She tells him the same
thing that Deirdre tells him later, Ade deserved it and he shouldn't
feel so bad. But Ken being Ken, he does feel so bad and duly resigns
from his post.
There's more trauma at the Kabin as Norris wonders what to do with a
dead dog. Oh yes, Mr Wu he no more. He gone. Dog dead. Respeck. Norris
had fed Mr Wu 3lb of chocolates over the last week, enough to be fatal
to the little dog and off he goes to get a doppelganger dog before Rita
returns from her cruise. The first one he sees isn't ideal, being a Mrs
Wu, but he's sure if he can get a replacement and that Rita will never
know.
The Alahan Empire just keeps on growing as Dev gets approval for his
amusement arcade to be built next door to Roy's Rolls (oh, alright, it
might not be next door to Roys Rolls but it's close enough to get Roy
uptight about it all). Roy takes to leafletting the locals on the
dangers of arcades but most of them seem to quite like the idea,
especially Dev.
Richard's still in debt with the bank and tries to bluff his way through
a meeting with the bank manager with the promise of money to come from
investments. Back home at the house, Richard and Gail have a ding-dong
about being deep in doo-doo and then, suddenly, Richard turns the whole
thing around, blames himself for Sarah's accident, blames himself for
the family's finances falling apart and what does Gail do? She cuddles
his head to her bosom and tells him she loves him. What an evil bloke.
What a stupid woman.
And that's just about that for this week.
