Summary[]

Pete tells Pauline that everyone except for her thinks he is guilty, even Lou and Kathy. Emine and Rayif go missing but are later found by Lofty. Guizin says that Mehmet has left them but Emine says he has only left Guizin. Barry and Nick swap an engine from a hire car with one that needs repairing and they profit from it. Barry tells Colin, who says it is illegal and he will not help if it goes wrong. Mary cannot find a babysitter when Dot and Sue both refuse to help so she is forced to leave Annie on her own. Dot and Ethel hear Annie crying and break into Mary's flat to take care of Annie. Having spent the previous evening together, Simon tells Sharon that he has never had a female friend before and they are like family. Carmel tells Dot to stop sleeping on a fold - up bed to improve her back pain. Pauline visits Arthur; he says he wants to start a self - help group for the unemployed but she warns him that he is not completely well yet and he should not take on too much.

Kathy searches for Pete on the market, unaware he has gone to see Pauline. He returns and she is annoyed at him for not telling her where he was.

Ethel visits Den in the Vic to assume her old job as cleaner.

Dot tells Pete that she believes he did not attack anyone, though she makes a remark about him hitting people when Emine and Rayif steal from his stall and flee. Guizin tells Ali and Sue her duties as a Turkish wife are finished now Mehmet has disappeared.

A policeman tells Pete that the tyres on his van are worn and his number plate is badly fitted, and both need sorting out before he can drive the van again.

Pauline asks Sue to look after Martin while she visits Arthur.

Simon thanks Sharon for their Chinese the night before. Sharon offers to go with Simon to visit Pat in hospital and he is delighted; he tells Sharon he has never had a female friend before and her face straightens.

Nick tries selling silver to Tony but he refuses to take it.

Mary goes to the launderette in search of Pauline but finds Carmel and Dot in there instead. Carmel tells Mary she will help her with childcare arrangements if she needs it but Mary refuses help.

Guizin cannot find Emine or Rayif and panics. Ali and cab drivers go searching for them.

Arthur's mental health is massively improving, thrilling Pauline. He tells her he wants to set - up a self - help group in the community centre for unemployed people, but Pauline warns him he is not completely well yet and should not take on too much.

Emine and Rayif are found in the amusement arcade where Ali and Mehmet gamble and play cards. Guizin tells Emine she has to realise Mehmet has gone but Emine tells her that Mehmet is not out of her life.

Pauline prepares to tidy the house for Arthur's return from hospital.

Mary leaves Annie alone in her bedsit and heads off out for the night. Annie starts crying once Mary has gone and Dot and Ethel hear her. They knock on Mary's door and realise she is not home, so they break in and take Annie downstairs.
