|
Steve asks Pat for some caffeine pills and has to go elsewhere. They don't seem to help much and Beppe asks him repeatedly if he'll be OK to work. Roy's new motors are delivered to Phil's and Roy says he can't put them on show because Frank will start asking questions. Phil says Frank won't notice - he's too busy with the Vic. Phil says he will keep them for two days, but Roy had better get on the phone and start flogging them. Frank tells Peggy that Dan did a couple of lock-ins while they were away. Melanie and Nina whinge together in the café about working in a battlefield. Melanie tells Peggy she likes Dan and they could try to get on - after all if she were offered a half a pub for a fiver she'd take it and she should blame Phil. Laura takes the kids to the café for breakfast and Sonia asks her if she was too lazy to cook for them. Laura is defensive, and says unconvincingly that she could cook if she wanted to. She is very playful with the twins. Steven keeps saying that it's embarrassing and wants her to shut up. Laura goes to buy their tea and Pauline asks her what she's making. She looks uncomfortable and hurries off. Mark notices Lisa is quiet and offers to talk, and says how sorry he is things didn't work out. Phil sees her in the café and asks her if she's thought any more about it. Phil says he doesn't want to spoil her future. Lisa says it's none of his business. Peggy asks Lisa why she and Phil are in trouble and Lisa says they wanted different things. Frank appears in the car lot while Phil is there with Roy, who looks horribly guilty. Frank is furious and tells Roy that Phil is not allowed to set foot in here. Ian goes home early and discovers Laura can't cook. He shows her how to cook spaghetti bolognaise. Ian is quite supportive although she isn't very good, and he says she has to learn sometime - his kids can't eat junk food. She says she'll remember for next time. Phil asks Dan how it's going at the Vic, and he knows Dan can give as good as he gets and he hopes Dan's grinding down Frank and Peggy. Dan says he hopes Phil is coming in tonight - he needs some support. Jamie mutters that Phil doesn't seem too good at supporting people. Gianni and Beppe are in the Vic and have a joke at Mick, and he gets really wound up when they call him lazy and stupid for not making his business work, and Mick almost attacks them. Mark and Nina stop him and are surprised at Mick's extreme reaction. Melanie asks Peggy if she can go home and look after Lisa, and Peggy asks Melanie to serve Phil before she goes. Melanie is annoyed at him and tells him he should talk to Lisa - he should be standing by her. Peggy overhears, and then Phil tells Melanie to pour him a drink and shut up, and Peggy intervenes to tell him not to talk to the staff like that, and they argue and Peggy bars him. Phil asks, "What's your partner got to say about it?" Peggy is totally rattled and says, "He isn't, and never will be, my partner." Dan gets involved and says he is her partner whether she likes it or not. Peggy tells Lisa she deserves better, and to move on because Phil doesn't care about anyone but himself. Lisa bursts into tears. Peggy repeats herself, telling him to leave, and Phil does so, and Dan rushes after him, saying he will unbar him. Phil says he's had enough for one night. Meanwhile, Melanie puts her coat on and Peggy asks her what she meant by telling Phil he should stand by Lisa. Melanie denies she said that and Peggy guesses Lisa is pregnant. |
