Rosa does her make up to cover the bruise from Sandra's punch! Beppe whinges to Rosa about attacking Sandra like that and Rosa says she didn't start it. Beppe points out that she hit her first. Jamie reminds Phil about his offer to help him with a job, and he says he has decided what he wants - a stall on the market. Phil says if that's what he wants and asks what he will sell. Jamie says he doesn't know, and after some thought Phil suggests "hardware". Jamie says, "but Ian sells it in his shop, and if there was competition..." Phil grins and says "Exactly." Phil sees Roy and says that he ought to get rid of that Mercedes and asks if he got it from Di Baker. Roy is annoyed and says he has years of experience. Roy rushes back and asks Ricky if he's checked the car over yet, then offers him a bit more money if he can do it quickly. Ricky does so, and brings it back saying it's a good car. Ian hands Robbie a yellow T-shirt labelled "Beale's Enterprises". He tells him to wear it or find another job. Ian phones an agency for a nanny. Melanie asks Lisa to come out tonight, and Lisa says she'd rather stay in. Lisa agrees to a video and bottle of wine, and then Melanie invites Nina when she moans about Dan being on her back all the time. Then she sees Natalie looking fed up trying to do her ad, and invites her too. Meanwhile Phil asks Lisa if he can come round, and Lisa suggests that she's meeting Melanie but that's just for a chat, so come round afterwards. Jamie goes to Ian and asks for his stock from the shop and tells him he's setting up a stall. Ian laughs at him and says it takes ambition, hard work and determination to succeed in business. Ian says Jamie swanned off and let his business get looted. Jamie says "I take it that's a no, then?" Ian says he can have the stock - at a price. Beppe arrives at the club where Steve is asleep on the bar with an empty bottle, and says Steve has to go home, because he needs to open up, and go back and sort himself out. Steve takes Jackie's advice and phones a doctor to get some sleeping pills. Terry and Irene are still arguing about the car. Jamie tells Phil that Ian told him where to go about the stock, and Phil asks how much money he needs, and he'll help. Melanie arrives with Jackie and Natalie and Lisa refuses the wine. Melanie follows Lisa to the kitchen and insists on knowing what's up. Lisa tells her she may be pregnant. They go back into the lounge and start to watch the videos. The one they choose isn't rewound, so Natalie says "Let's watch Parenthood instead." Jackie says "Who's interested in babies? I don't know what anyone sees in them - they're all noisy and dribbly." Phil turns up and tells Lisa he'll give it a miss for tonight, since she has everyone there, and they're both miserable for missing one night together. Melanie asks Lisa if it's OK, and Melanie says Phil will be OK about it if she is pregnant. Lisa contradicts her, saying he will think she did it to trap him. Ian goes round to see Mark convalescing and Mark tells him their old school is up for sale. They reminisce. Jim arranges a poker game at the Vic and Roy and Terry and Jeff play, and Jim goes on about how Phil keeps saying Roy's new car is dodgy. Roy says Ricky has checked it and it's fine. They all laugh at Roy getting so wound up about it. The police arrive at the car lot and inspect the Mercedes. Roy goes to find out what's up and is taken to the station as the police say the car isn't on it's true plates. Roy gets into the police car nervously. |
