With Linda feeling vulnerable, Dean is happy to take advantage of this situation by taking her off to Blades to comfort her.

Johnny, Nancy and Lee are all upset over Cora's behaviour too, which leads to Nancy arguing with Lauren over what happened. When Lauren later confronts Cora, she is forced to reveal that Rainie was the prostitute who was caught with Mick.
