Debbie and Andy are still recovering from the shock of being victims. Mary has to face the music, but has support from Pauline and Arthur. Debbie gets her exam results, and Dot announces the return of 'the prodigal son' – but she is the only one happy about it. Arthur has happy news that doesn't impress Michelle. Ethel's romance hits a snag, and Andy discovers he has forgotten something very important.


Debbie awaits anxiously for the post.

Mary is nervous as the day of her court appearance arrives. Arthur and Pauline look after Annie for her. Arthur reassures Mary that she will not get a jail sentence.

Debbie returns home to find post. She opens the letter addressed to her and is elated to have passed her exams.

Ernie and Ethel have another date in the Vic. Ernie asks Ethel if they can get married and move in together. Ethel is thrilled by the news, but she is crushed when Ernie tells her she will have to get rid of Willy as he is allergic to dogs.

As Lofty leaves the Vic after ending his shift, he is horrified to see a resident pointing Nick over to him.

Arthur returns after going missing for the day. He tells Pauline and Michelle he has got a job as a cleaner in a school. Michelle is furious when she learns that Arthur's new cleaner job is at the school she attends.

Andy and Debbie are delighted to learn that Lou is going to cover the costs of their losses from the burglary. As the pair discuss what they will buy with the insurance money, Debbie makes sure Andy has posted their insurance renewal.
