|
Roxy heads to see Jack – she's bought Amy a hamster to apologise. Jack's firm that it's going to take a lot more than that to make up for her actions; Social Services are heading over later. Jack warns Roxy that he's going to be honest with them – he doesn't think that Roxy is fit to look after Amy alone; he's got a strong case for full custody. Roxy panics to Ronnie that she could be an unfit mother, but Ronnie assures her that Jack doesn't really believe that – she suggests that Roxy should find him and make amends. Roxy heads to see Jack and admits that she's had a wake-up call; she can see she's been a bad mother and needs to change. Roxy tells Jack that she needs to go away and sort her head out; Amy is better off with him and Ronnie for now. Roxy says goodbye to Amy – Jack presents Amy with the hamster from earlier; telling her it's from Roxy. Roxy asks Jack not to tell Ronnie that she's gone until it's too late for her to try and talk her out if it. Later, Ronnie's taken aback when Amy dashes in and asks when she can keep in touch with Roxy – she demands to know where her sister is. As Kathy walks into the café, she and Buster catch each other's eye. Denise is unimpressed when Carmel admits that she drunkenly flirted with Buster last night. Buster enters the café and asks Kathy whether she's avoiding him; she promises that she's just busy at work. Denise tells Carmel that she's playing with fire, but Carmel claims that chances at happiness don't always come along; it makes sense to grab hold when it does. Buster asks Lee to watch the stall, claiming he has an errand to run. Buster meets Kathy in the park and opens up – he really likes her and hopes that she's on the same page. Buster gives Kathy a day to think about things and claims that if he doesn't hear from her, they'll call it quits. Carmel heads to Buster's stall and awkwardly flirts with him, before asking him what his plans for later are. Carmel's pleased when Buster tells her to pop into Linda's birthday buffet later that he's catering for. Denise accompanies Carmel to the Vic; Kush arrives and Denise can't help but clock him. When Buster tells Carmel that he only wants to be friends, Carmel leaves the Vic. Denise tells Kush that she's up for the personal training he offered; it's a flirty moment. Kathy finds Buster on Bridge Street and tells him yes. |
