Jake notices a bruise on Nana's hand. She confesses that she let a stranger into the flat. He pinched her pension money and wedding ring, uttering that it was a 'message to all the Moons'. Billy's due to visit Graham in the afternoon. Garry agrees to cover for him if Little Mo asks questions. Little Mo pesters Billy to join her for lunch. She's so persistent that he can't say no. Danny's baying for Andy's blood but Jake calms him down. Alfie fears the consequences of Jake and Danny avenging the attack. When he asks them to leave town, Jake gets on the phone. Zoe's moved back to the Slaters'. She's riddled with guilt as the family rally round to support her and the baby. Stacey delights in spreading the bad news. Dot calls round to offer her sympathy. Zoe can't stand deceiving her family about the pregnancy. Little Mo assures her that she'll feel better once she's given birth. Zoe's ready to confess but then Mo appears with a cot. Alfie loses his rag with Jake and Danny for calling in Johnny. Danny's frustrated by Alfie's laid-back attitude. Alfie blames Danny for Nana's attack. As things get heated, Johnny arrives. Johnny's keen to deal with Andy and Nana's grateful for his intervention. He delights her by pretending that Danny found her pension money. He whisks off Jake and Danny on an errand. Chrissie hears from Sharon that she's sold the club. She proposes that she should buy into the Vic. Den claims that he doesn't have the relevant papers but she finds them later. Patrick remarks that Dennis is lucky to have escaped Andy's grasp. He's certain that Andy knows more than he's letting on. Den suggests that Andy's hiding something. Little Mo makes a special lunch and waits for Billy. After a time, Garry appears. He explains that Billy's been called away. Garry feigns ignorance when Little Mo asks where he is. Zoe confides in Den. She realises that faking a miscarriage would hurt her family. Den's main concern is keeping Chrissie in the dark. He warns Zoe to keep her mouth shut. Andy arrives at the bookies to find Johnny at his desk. Johnny's stern with him. He criticises Andy for failing to keep things under control. Jake and Danny also get a ticking off. Patrick bursts into the bookies. He wants answers about Paul's whereabouts. He pleads with Andy for help. Andy orders him to leave. Danny and Jake escort a distressed Patrick home. Graham's his usual cocky self at the prison. Billy's sickened when Graham says he wants to be there for Freddie. He points out that the baby has siblings. Billy's seething and walks out. Alfie invites Little Mo and Freddie round to the flat. She frets about how distant Billy's been. Alfie hands Freddie back to Little Mo. They're poised to kiss but both pull away flustered. Johnny ensures that Nana's ring is returned. He quizzes Andy about Paul, but his curiosity's not satisfied. He makes a call, stating that it's time that Paul turned up. |
