Summary[]

Den tells Pete he thinks Pat was lying about Wicksy not being Pete's son. During a band meeting upstairs in the Vic, Harry proposes that The Banned gets an additional member. Wicksy phones his old bandmate Eddie Hunter, who arrives at the Vic as Naima is telling Den her application to sell alcohol has been accepted. Wicksy reminds Eddie he left him with a lot of debt when their previous band broke up, so as a return favour he wants Eddie to join The Banned, giving Wicksy backup in future band discussions. In a long-winded tale about a holiday in Southend where Pete's grandad nearly drowned, Lou reassures Pete that Pat is lying, and that Wicksy is his son.

Arthur is still unhappy with Lofty, and when he and Michelle tell Arthur and Pauline the date they are marrying Arthur makes excuses. Lofty takes Arthur into the kitchen and tells him he will let him have the first chance of the cab office job. Arthur's upset with Lofty is quickly forgotten and Arthur agrees to them marrying on the twentieth. Pauline asks Michelle to tell Lou they are getting married a week later than planned so that Lou thinks they are marrying on her wedding anniversary. Lou is thrilled when she finds out.
