|
Ian's frantically learning all the quiz answers. Cindy thinks he's mad as usual. She goes round to see David to complain about him sending the fax when Gita was there, because it had his name across the top. He says he thought she liked to live dangerously! She says not that dangerously and kisses him affectionately before leaving. Carol is almost finished decorating, so she tells Robbie to go to the launderette and tell Pauline she is ill so can't do her shift. Robbie isn't too convincing and Pauline makes him look after the launderette while she does her shopping. Arthur talks to Mark about Michelle and Pauline's feud. Mark says he will try to talk to mum. Arthur goes to see Michelle. They arrange a meeting between Pauline and Michelle that evening. Michelle has problems convincing Vicki that America's a good idea, and Vicki pretends to be ill so she doesn't have to go to school. Michelle bribes her with promises of trips to Disneyland and Sharon, and Vicki is soon keen to go after all, and now goes off to school to tell her friends all about it. Ted and Jimmy come to see Phil - Jimmy is rather beaten! Phil says he told Baker the truth because he was protecting Kathy. Jimmy starts to attack him, but Ted stops it and tells Jimmy to go outside. Jimmy sits in the Square and after Ted has finished listening to Phil, he goes and chats to him. Jimmy says he's leaving and will get out of the way so Ted will be okay. Ted says he owes Jimmy and Jimmy says, "Not any more, you've been good to me for years", and now he wants to do this for Ted's benefit. Ted returns to Phil and apologises, saying that he was right to protect Kathy - Phil says that he could stay around Walford now, Ted muses on this. Roy takes Pat out for the day - she is depressed about the decorating which is not happening. Roy has arranged some workmen to come and do it, so he tries to keep Pat out as long as possible. They have a nice day by the river. Roy is happy as Pat tells him she loves him, but worried as she still insists that she doesn't want him doing things for her like the decorating. However, she admits that she's really fed up with it. When they get back Roy is a bit worried but Pat is thrilled! She goes to the Vic and sees Carol and Alan, as Carol has just finished her decorating too. She buys Carol a drink to "celebrate". Carol says it just shows if you want something doing, you have to do it yourself. Michelle goes to Pauline's. They start to chat, then Pauline says that she's never going to say that she agrees with what Michelle's doing, and it's a very stupid idea and if Michelle thinks that she can come over and get her blessing then she's wrong. Michelle says she only came to talk about it, but she's going anyway, and it's on Thursday. Pauline continues to be rude and Michelle leaves. It's quiz night - Ian says David might not come and Cindy is disappointed. They meet Michelle on the way, Ian asks her to come and join them, and she snaps at them. They go into the Vic. Michelle gets some ice cream for Vicki. Back at home, Mark asks how it went, and she says terrible again. Vicki and Michelle eat the ice cream, and then later that night, Michelle sneaks back into the kitchen and gets a pregnancy test kit out of a bag. Ian goes into the Vic and challenges the other team. They bet on whoever loses tonight is barred from the Vic. Peggy says she's not getting involved, as long as they don't fight they can agree what they like. |
