Lou gives Arthur a hard time over his unemployment. He goes to the job centre to see what is available. Dot is informed by the bank that someone she knows has tried to cash her cheques, but Dot cannot see any missing from her chequebook. Den asks Simon to keep an eye out on Angie for him, as she is acting suspiciously. Simon is dubious, but Den reminds him that he owes him a favour. Mary is not persuaded by Nick to let him be her pimp. Dot talks to Doctor Legg about her sweating in the night. He says she may be approaching the menopause. Angie invites Andy into the Vic again and they continue their affair. Kathy stands by her decision to quit working at the Vic for as long as Andy sees Angie. Dot wins £250 at bingo, much to Lou's annoyance. She decides to book a holiday and asks Ali to help her. Andy and Angie get comfortable on the sofa of the upstairs flat. Kelvin tells Simon to join a workers union. Den returns from his duties early and catches Andy and Angie kissing each other. He gets angry with Andy and Angie, particularly Angie when she tells him that he finally knows how she feels about his and Jan's affair. He tells Angie that his affair is completely different from her affair with Andy. He starts tormenting Andy but is interrupted by a phone call. He kicks Andy out and tells Angie to rally Lofty and Simon downstairs. DS Quick visits Dot and Nick, and asks Nick for help finding information on a recent bank raid which has made the local news. Den tells Lofty and Simon to leave the Vic until further notice, before telling Angie that they have a special visitor coming to stay. |
