|
Pete discovers he did something to Lou that he should apologise for, but he does not remember. Later on, when everyone is drinking, he does it again. Angie finds cash in Sharon's bedroom, and Sharon admits to stealing from the Vic, so Den is forced to tell his staff that he made a mistake. Everyone who Den sold a radio to returns it for a refund as none of them works, apart from Ali who asks for an exchange. Mary tells Sue that she has found a professional babysitter, which upsets Sue as she thinks Annie will not be properly cared for. Naima visits Saeed, and they talk about the good times in their marriage. Saeed says he needs to be his person and work out who he is. Lou tells Dot she should consider moving to the Square. Cassie arrives at Tony's flat with cuts and bruises on her face. |
