Summary[]

Peggy tries match-making Kathy and Phil. Grant gets an unexpected visit. Terry becomes impatient with his guest.

Ian tells Melanie he isn't coming to court as it's to do with her and Steve.

Peggy shows Frank another letter from the brewery about another offer which is a lot of money. Frank says they must be deadly serious. Peggy tells Grant that it wasn't fair to tell the entire Square about Nina and asks if he would like everyone to know his secrets. Peggy sees Kathy in the Square and invites her over for dinner. She later invites Phil over for dinner too. Lisa sees Phil and asks him if they are going out tonight and he says he can't. She is annoyed that he thinks more of his mother than her.

Barry asks Natalie if she likes his ring, as he suspects she doesn't. Carol asks Barry when he's getting married - and adds as long as it's not around the New Year, there will be far too many people doing it then! In the café, Natalie finally blurts out, "It's all wrong, it's the wrong size, the wrong shape, colour, it's too big, it's tasteless and horrible." Barry says, "You hate it." Natalie says "sorry" but Barry leaves. He goes to the Vic, and moans at Pauline - she says he is thinking of the perfect ring for him not for her - try to imagine the perfect ring for her, then give it to her somewhere more romantic than the Vic! Barry goes to the restaurant and asks Rosa to "save his life." He leaves a scrappy note on the flat window for Natalie.

Gianni moves Jackie's bag and drops some papers out of it (including the visiting order). She hastily stuffs them back in. Beppe sees as he comes in asking for a free meal. Rosa agrees and goes to find something, and Beppe sneaks a look at the papers in the bag, and finds the visiting order. Jackie catches him and he says his family has a right to know whom they have employed. Rosa arrives. Jackie says her family is her own business. Rosa says Beppe has said his piece and Jackie is right, it's none of their business. She makes Beppe wash up to pay for his meal. Later, Rosa "has a word" with Beppe, saying he's a hypocrite, after what he said about the way Grant treated Nina. Rosa says she doesn't care if she's the sister of Mussolini as long as she does a good job.

Pauline gets some Italian food for the exchange student who is arriving tomorrow, and ropes Martin and his friend Asif into cleaning up. Ian is sulking and Kathy says that he knows there's nothing going on with Melanie and Steve and he should support her. She says Melanie isn't Cindy, and she must love him, not many would take on three kids, so he should help her. Ian asks Kathy not to go back to South Africa. Billy sneaks around and says hello to Grant, who tells him to keep away payment day. Billy says not to shoot the messenger!

Melanie moans on about the trial and Jackie tries to tell her, but Natalie is chatting. Gianni and Beppe arrive and tell Natalie that Barry's at the restaurant waiting for her. Jackie asks if Melanie thinks Steve is really capable of murder and Mel says she seems very interested in Steve. Gianni comes over and asks Melanie if she knows who Jackie really is - he tells her that Jackie is Steve's sister. Melanie is furious and snaps at Jackie. Natalie finds Barry with gypsy violinists and champagne and a meal, and he pours her drink with a ring in it. He proposes again.

Kathy drops Ben off and tells Phil she's going out tonight and he says he is too. They arrive and meet each other and laugh that they've been had. Peggy then gets Frank to come and ask her to help downstairs as she's busy. They laugh at the clumsy act, and carry on getting on very well, until Phil tries to ask Kathy to get back together, when she leaves hastily. They have a snog but Kathy breaks it off, saying she can't let it happen.
