Melanie lies awake worrying. The kids ask her if she's their new mummy, and later Pat tells her that she'd better take care choosing a dress - she'll be looking at photos of herself in it for the next 50 years. Melanie looks distinctly unkeen at the daunting prospect. Peggy and Frank decide on the Algarve and Janine sees the brochures and assumes that they are going on holiday so she tells Frank that she is coming too, and she plays truant from school for the day to go shopping for beachwear. She tells Nicky and Sonia she reckons it'll be a holiday in Ibiza. Sonia mutters that she'll fail her exams if she skips school all the time. At tea, Frank makes the announcement and both Janine and Ricky moan that he's a terrible father! Janine tells him he has always loved Peggy more than her. She storms out and Frank sighs, "Beam me up Scotty." Teresa is asking everyone to help get Matthew out of prison, and Jim asks "What am I supposed to do? Hire a helicopter?" Melanie and Lisa chat over coffee about the huge responsibility and commitment of marriage, particularly with three children. Lisa asks Melanie if she really wants to marry Ian - he's not very romantic. Melanie says that the romantic and passionate relationships never last - it's always a disaster. Lisa says maybe she hasn't met the right one yet. Frank visits Phil to ask him to make it up with Peggy and he refuses point blank. Frank doesn't explain why he wants this, though. Dot is pestering people about the neighbourhood watch, and she interrupts Troy giving Irene a massage. Teresa asks Jamie to help the "free Matthew" campaign and Ian appears behind her. She looks guilty and says she didn't think he was in today, but then she asks him for money, because they know who should be locked up for this. This prompts Ian to give her a few quid from the till. Lisa and Melanie go shopping for the wedding dress, and take ages trying on everything in the shop. Finally, she's taken to a special one and Lisa says cost doesn't matter with Ian. Melanie tries it on. Lisa says it's wonderful and Melanie is in tears saying she can't go through with marrying Ian! |
