Summary[]
Vic and Beresford pay an early morning call to the Square. Their first visit is to Ali and Sue, where Sue is already putting the money in the envelope. They bite off more than they can chew when they visit Tony - Tony attacks Beresford so he quickly leaves. Tony later gets a call from Jesper Scannell hoping he gets a good night's sleep. John Fisher attends the Vic to do his drag queen act. He falls down just as Den's mistress Jan turns up.

Beresford and Vic arrive back in Albert Square, ready to take money from Ali and Sue. They hand the money over to Vic, and Beresford is impressed. He then turns his attention to Tony and visits him alone. Tony gets violent with Beresford and Vic and Doctor Legg run over to Tony's flat after hearing noises. Beresford and Vic flee the house. Angie and Sharon welcome John, the drag artist, back into the Vic. Den phones Jan back and Angie is furious with him. Debbie has a rash on her legs because her kittens have fleas. Andy treats her for the flea bites. DS Quick then arrives and hands Debbie a book on cats. Lou's social worker refuses to look after her any longer because of her rudeness. Ruth informs Pauline of the effects that no social worker could have on her daily living. Arthur is delighted to learn he has been accepted as a talent scout for Walford Town Football Club. Dot is horrified when Kathy insults how she brought up Nick. Ali, Pete and Tony discuss what to do if the men return. Den promises Angie that he will not leave her side for Jan as the evening of the drag night arrives. Sue receives a phone call from the café - she is told to tell Tony that a Mr. Scannell is concerned for his health. Sue informs Tony of his message. Sharon is given a lesson in perception by John. The drag night gets underway at the Vic and Pete is stone-faced at John's performance, so John takes a particular interest in him, dragging him up onto the stage. A woman arrives at the Vic and asks Angie for a drink. Pete pushes John to the ground on the stage when he gets too close for Pete's comfort. Den tends to a fallen John while the woman stands over him - it is Jan. Den is shocked to see her. |
