There's an atmosphere in the Jacksons' house. Carol's suspicions are raised as Bianca snubs Dan. Ricky and Carol join forces to organise a surprise birthday party for Bianca. Dan suggests to Bianca that they keep out of each other's way. Bianca warns, "this is my family - more than it will ever be yours". Bianca threatens Dan. There's nothing he can do. Janine tricks Pat and Peggy into taking her shopping. Peggy turns to Pat, asking "ever had the feeling you've been had?" Janine takes them to the cleaners. While Janine's away, Peggy and Pat share a tender confidence. Melanie and Lisa organise a double date with Ian and Gianni - neither is keen. The double date starts badly. Gianni says of Ian "I don't know how much more of Richard Branson here I can take". The date takes a disastrous turn for the worst. Terry anxiously waits for a phone call from Susie Brown. Impatient, he decides to visit her himself. Terry arrives at Susie's 'office' - a derelict squat. He rips up her card in frustration. The atmosphere between Terry and Irene worsens after he makes a startling confession. Teresa's hopes are raised when Matthew agrees to see her. Matthew tells Teresa about Sarah's letter. She reacts with horror when Matthew tells her, "I don't want to see you again". Teresa protests "I gave up everything for you". Matthew turns with relief as the guards show her out. Teresa is devastated. Teresa drowns her sorrows alone in the Vic. Frank urges Ricky to take a drink over to her. Ricky bolts out after Teresa asks him "why didn't you and me get it together Christmas Eve"? Drunk and distraught, Teresa follows Ricky outside. Ricky blanches as Teresa pleads "stay with me tonight, like you did before". Ricky looks up with horror - Frank is stood watching! |
