Summary[]

Nick tells the physiotherapist to get lost. Charlie agrees to let Zoe go on holiday. Steve announces in the Vic that he and Melanie are to marry and produces a huge engagement ring. Ian gets a job in a pizza place. Melanie tells Laura she will lend her the money to buy the fish and chip shop.

Pauline can't understand why Sonia decided to give Chloe up. Sonia catches Pauline in the Square before her visit to Chloe and suggests they all meet up to talk about the situation. Sonia can't understand why Pauline wants to do this. Sonia gives Pauline a rattle to give to Chloe which surprises her. Sonia says there isn't a day she doesn't think about Chloe, Pauline retorts by saying she decided to give Chloe up. Pauline wonders how Chloe's foster mother could ever bear to give her up. As she coos over baby Chloe, she whispers that she's never going to give her up. 

Ian gets a job and Laura buys the chip shop. Melanie and Steve canoodle in the Square, while Ian heads off to the job centre. Laura tells Melanie that Ian has to find a job because the bank is threatening to repossess the house. 

Nick is still in denial about his injuries even when the occupational therapist suggests he might have to spend some time in a wheelchair. Dot is upbeat but Ashley looks horrified. Nick's occupational therapist tells Nick they need to work together if he's going to recover - Nick tells him to get lost. Dot's fussing is greeted with the same disdain from Nick. 

Kerry urges Zoe to tell Charlie about their holiday before she loses her deposit. Lynne tells Kat she's worried about Little Mo - she's still not answering her phone. Charlie agrees to let Zoe go on holiday, but only after she lies and says Eddie is going. Zoe says she needs her birth certificate for her passport, Charlie says he'll sort it all out for her.

Natalie tells Pat to talk to Roy about the divorce if she's not happy about going through with it. In the Vic, Roy again tells Pat that he's sure a divorce is the right thing for them. Pat says she isn't so sure but Roy ignores her and says it's right for him and he's going to be selfish now, after all it is his turn. 

Ian's visit to the job centre doesn't go too well - they feel he has too much experience - and the bank are still talking about repossessing the house. Laura speaks to Melanie again about the fish and chip shop. Ian comes into the café jubilant - he's got a job in a pizza place. More good news when Melanie tells Laura she'll lend her the money for the shop. Her only condition is that Ian never knows. Laura goes to the chip shop to finalise arrangements. Unfortunately, Mr Kendrick knows that she's with Ian and wants her to pay the £500 arrears. She talks him round saying he'll get his money in time.
