Sue returns to the Square and finds the café shut. Arthur treats Pauline to breakfast; she is confused as to what the occasion is, but Arthur will not tell her. Angie is caught drinking by Sharon, who walks off, disappointed by what she has seen. Ian decides to pull himself together and get his life straight since his break-up with Tina. Barry continues to leave a mess around Colin's flat. Lou and Doctor Legg are both interviewed by Martin Hunter for the documentary. Pete looks forward to his chance to shine, but he manages to slip-up on camera and forget what he is meant to be saying, so he has to be re-recorded. Sue tries to get through to Ali on Ozcabs radios but has no success. Willmott-Brown's house is graffitied as he prepares for his turn on the camera. Angie and Den are interviewed outside their respective workplaces. Arthur tells Pauline he wants to treat her like a queen for the day, so he has planned a romantic day and night for them in the heart of London. Residents in the Square wave them as they head off. Sharon tells Michelle that she has given up on her parents as she does not feel like she has achieved anything. She then tells Michelle she needs time to herself to cry and realise that she is not the matchmaker she thought she was. Dot is excited for her time on the camera, but the film team drive straight by her. Sharon goes to a church and sits silently. The curate, Duncan Boyd, watches her from a distance. Ali hears Sue is back and rushes over to the café to find her. There, Sue tells him that she wants to completely redesign the café so that it caters more for the yuppies, as that is who they need to start targeting. Ali asks Sue where she disappeared to, she tells him she spent time with a friend and then reveals she is pregnant. Ali cries tears of joy and tells her they did it. |
