Summary[]
Everyone's thoughts are with Andy on the day of his funeral. Sharon and Angie go on holiday to Florida. The band agree to change their name to The Banned and enter a competition, for which Simon will write a song. Pauline is not speaking to Arthur but she later shows him some of her art. They kiss and go home together. Mehmet takes Mary out for a drink, though she insists on soft drinks. He puts vodka in her drinks and they kiss and she asks him to stay the night at her flat but she then passes out in the pub. Lofty decorates his flat for Michelle but she hates the wallpaper so he agrees to paint it. Cassie tells her parents that going to boarding school will make her privileged and brainwashed, so they realise Harry has been influencing her and they ban him from their home.

Sharon feels down following the band's gig failure the night before, but Simon reminds her that she leaves for Disneyland later and should get packed and ready, as not everyone can go on holiday. Ethel is hungover. Arthur and Tom talk on the allotments. Pauline tells Michelle she is not angry at Arthur, but is going to let him think she until the afternoon to teach him a lesson. Tony looks at the damp at Number 45 and suspects a leaky pipe from Number 43 is causing it. Hannah decides that Cassie will be going to boarding school. Once she has gone, Harry tells Cassie that if she goes to boarding school, she will become privileged and brainwashed. Lofty and Simon continue to decorate his flat. It is the day of Andy's funeral and everyone's thoughts are with him. Sue thinks of Hassan as she stares at Annie, remembering the pain she went through when she lost someone. Mehmet decides that he is going to take Mary to the pub to help cheer her up, but Ali tells Sue that Mehmet is actually intending to sleep with her in the evening. Colin offers to buy Naima a drink to befriend her following her loss on the flat. Angie and Sharon leave for Disneyland. Pete pays Arthur for his work on the stall. Sue holds Vicki when Michelle brings her to the café, and feels like Michelle views her differently from the other residents. She looks after Vicki while Michelle views Lofty's redecorated flat. Michelle does not like the wallpaper Lofty has put up - they agree to paint the walls instead. Kelvin suggests they change the name of the group to The Banned. They then decide to enter a competition and Simon says he will write a song for it. Mehmet takes Mary to the pub and spikes her drink with alcohol. Pauline meets with Arthur at his allotment and shows him some of her artwork. The pair kiss and go home together. |
