Pauline's acting strangely, staring into mid-air. When Arthur tries to get through to her, she opens up that Dot stealing her biscuits the previous day in work has left a sense of anger in her, and Arthur promises to have a word with Dot about the situation. Guizin is having a check-up with Doctor Samuels and deep down is hoping that something is wrong with her so she can have a little break from the hard grafting at the café. When she receives the news that she is very well fit and healthy, she opens up to Doctor Samuels that she is exhausted with all the responsibility and grafting that has been put upon her and he agrees to write her a sick note much to her pleasure. Mehmet and Ali are swiped off their feet when both Sue and Guizin turn up with sick notes. Frank has gone to visit his mother and Pat's been left with the kids. An undercover cop comes into the Vic and is shocked when Pat instantly knows that he's on duty. Kathy manages to gain the strength to face the Square and appear in the Vic, but the presence of Donna behind the bar becomes all too much for her, and she almost instantly runs back out. Donna is following Wicksy around like a lost puppy wanting his opinion on what flats they could share. The undercover cop from the Vic goes to visit Den in the wine bar wanting information on when he travelled aboard the previous year. Colin gets frustrated with Doctor Legg from being kept in suspense on what is wrong with him. David convinces Doctor Legg to let Michelle participate in a meeting at the surgery. Brad gives Den the proposition of framing himself for the Dagmar fire and the Firm are offering him twenty-grand for every year he's inside tax-free. |
