Summary[]

Angie and Sharon stay at Kathy and Pete's. Kathy tells Pauline to see Doctor Legg about Arthur. Pat urges Mary to talk to a man, Eamon, in the Vic, saying that she is likely to get her dinner paid for. Mehmet tells Kathy a friend is willing to sell one of her jumper designs if she can make them within four weeks. Pete works out that Kathy can make £400, but she will have to get some help and Kathy thinks she will be overworked.

Ian and Pete get frustrated when Sharon spend too long in the bathroom. Kathy tells Pete he is to go to the Vic with Sharon whilst she collects the rest of her and Angie's belongings.

Arthur plays with Martin's building blocks and when they fall over he claims it is proof that nothing ever goes right for him. Pauline tells Michelle that she needs to talk to her about Arthur but Michelle says she will not have much time as she needs to typewrite. Lou has the shingles again so Pauline takes the day off work. When she gets to the Vic she gets a frosty reception from Den.

Angie breaks down in Kathy's arms over her divorce. Sharon refuses to listen to what Den has to say and reminds him that he is not her real father.

Pauline talks to Kathy about Arthur and Kathy tells Pauline to see Doctor Legg about him.

Mary asks Dot to look after Annie whilst she goes out for the evening.

Doctor Legg visits Lou and afterwards tells Pauline to get Arthur to visit him at the surgery so he can do a complete assessment on Arthur.

Mehmet tells Kathy that a friend is willing to sell one of her jumper designs if she can make them within four weeks.

Dot tries to get the gossip about Angie and Den off Tom.

Den tells Pete that he offered Angie the pub and all while Pete tells Den to prepare for things to get messy when money starts getting involved in the divorce. Den then gives Pete cash to give to Angie.

Barry tells Den that Angie will be back for him. Pete gives Angie the cash from Den.

Angie surprises Kathy and Pete with theatre tickets as a thank you to them for letting her and Sharon stay at theirs.

Pauline asks Arthur what Doctor Legg said but he refuses to tell her and walks off.
