Summary[]
It is Carol's birthday, but Alan is not in the mood to celebrate it as recent events play on his mind. Janine's comments over Pat's homework plants doubt in her mind, so she turns to Geoff and asks him to read through it for her. Pauline suggests that Michelle applies for the manager role at the new community centre.

Bianca takes it upon herself to surprise Carol with a party at the Vic in the evening. Mark's drinking habits concern Michelle greatly. Natalie makes a cake for Carol. Blossom lets Robbie have a nightie she was planning to take back to the shops to give to Carol as a birthday present. He mistakes it for a dress and assures her that it is one! Michelle is jealous to learn that Geoff is spending the evening with Pat. Alan gets Carol to the Vic for her surprise party. She goes in the "dress" which Robbie has given her. Grant gifts Kathy the Vic for her and Phil's engagement party. Mark is speechless when Ruth turns up on the doorstep of Number 55 wanting to try again with him. Alan's mood is dampened further by David's appearance at the Vic during Carol's party. Pat makes a hotpot for her and Geoff. Geoff helps her out and she is grateful. Bianca misses Ricky. Mark tries to stop Ruth from worming her way back into his life, but she is adamant that it is what she wants. They end up kissing. |
