Summary[]
Ian's behaviour causes Sharon to fear the worst, leaving Phil to take action. Shirley takes matters in to her own hands to help Mick out, but he is less than happy when he realises the lengths she has gone to.

Shirley visits Phil at the Arches and asks to borrow ten thousand pounds. Phil immediately goes to get it from the safe and questions Shirley about what it's for. Mick appears at the door and tells Phil that Shirley doesn't need his money. However, Shirley later heads over to Phil's and asks again and Phil gives her the cash. Later, in The Vic, Stan asks Mick if there has been any progress with the money, as he and Dean 'have plans'. Dean and Stan look at the dis-used Butcher's Joints as a potential hairdressers. Shirley hands Mick the money that she got from Phil and Mick hands the money over to Stan who tells Dean and that he'll keep hold of the cash and sign-off cheques when necessary. Honey and Billy are with William, Janet and Lexi at the park. Billy tells Honey that it means so much to him that the two of them have stayed friends and can be like a proper family. They all head to the café for lunch, where Billy suggests that Honey stays an extra night so that they can spend more time together. Honey disagrees and suggests they stick to what was agreed - the kids want some quality time alone with Billy. As Honey leaves, she makes a phone call, where she discloses that Billy was so happy to see her that she couldn't tell him her news. Ian is in the pharmacy collecting a pill prescription, which Sharon overhears. As Ian leaves, Sharon runs out of the pharmacy to follow him. He heads into his house and she bangs on the door. Sharon leaves a worried voicemail on Ian's phone telling him that she has got herself in a mess with pills before and doesn't want to see him go that way. Sharon runs round to Phil's and tells him that she is worried that Ian has done something stupid. Phil heads round to Ian's with her and kicks the door down. They enter the house and find that he is out. They also find the pill packet - he's not taken the pills. When Ian returns, Sharon apologises about the door, but remarks she was worried about him and wants to talk about the pills. Ian tells Sharon that there wasn't any plan; he just wanted to see how it felt, but then he thought about his family and couldn't go through with it. |
