Summary[]
A night on the town with Tiffany proves to be memorable for Bianca, although her hopes of finding someone tall, dark and handsome don't turn out quite as she expected. Geoff turns up to see a rather hurt and confused Michelle to try and sort things out between them. Ian is frustrated as Steve's new business venture takes off. This time he's getting all hot and bothered trying to persuade Kathy that Steve's all night café is affecting his business at the chippy.

Phil was very pleased with the way Ricky had looked after the Arches for him whilst he was away. He asked Ricky to stay on and work with him. Ian was angry when Michelle told him that Kathy had married Phil. Kathy asked for a little tolerance when confronted by a furious Ian especially considering him having taken Cindy back after what she had done. Ian didn't agree. He told her that her marriage was an inescapable fact that he accepted. However, he told her he would never ever forgive her for marrying "that cretin". Having told Geoff all about her dark and distant past, Michelle was worried when she seemed to be unable to reach him on the phone the next day. Every time she phoned, Geoff was either in a meeting or had just popped out. Michelle decided that he was deliberately trying to avoid her because of her past. Mark eventually persuaded her that this was probably not the case and that she had just been unlucky with the phone that day. She managed to contact him the next day. He phoned to say he would have to work late and would not be arriving on time. Michelle assumed this to be that he wanted to finish with her but didn't want to tell her to her face. Geoff arrived that evening, produced a bottle of Champagne and asked Michelle to marry him. She said she'd think about it. Geoff explained that it was because he had a job offer in Scotland and wanted her to come with him. As Bianca was getting ready for work, Ian called around and told her that he didn't need her that night. Bianca was not very happy about this and told him that he should pay her a sort of cancellation fee. Ian, who was still smarting from his argument with Kathy, pointed out that if she had been working she was already 10 minutes late. Bianca's sarcastic reply was rewarded with instant dismissal from her post. Carol is trying to console Bianca about Ricky. Bianca was toying with the idea of trying to reconcile with Ricky. However, Tiffany convinced her that she had done the right thing by dumping Ricky and that they would now be able to go out and have fun together more often. Tiffany suggested that they went to a club she knew the next evening. When they miss the bus, she pays for a taxi. They arrive at a club called the Black Hole. Upon arrival they were immediately bought a large number of drinks by two lecherous men. Bianca ended up drunk and the man managed to get her in a taxi and took her back to Albert Square. Upon arrival, he was very angry to find that Bianca lived with her parents. As he had paid good money for a good time, he decided that he would take from Bianca what he thought he was owed. He was just about to pull her into the shadows when David came along and rescued her. He took her back to the Portakabin to sober her up enough for her to go home and face Carol. Bianca eventually started to sober up. David was concerned and Bianca mistook this very paternal concern for her welfare for attraction. She said how nice he was and she hadn't realised and then started to make a pass at him. He told her to stop but she was remarkably persistent. She threw herself at him and started to kiss him passionately. He managed to wrestle her away from him and shouted at her to stop. She asks why. David reveals that he is her father! |
