Summary[]
Linda is mortified to realise she has forgotten Mick's birthday and quickly arranges a surprise party - and as everyone gathers in the pub to celebrate, she finds the temptation to have a drink hard to resist. Phil is celebrating his birthday too with a family meal and is relieved when Louise agrees to attend - only for her to lash out at him and Ben. Kat is thrilled when Whitney sets up a meeting with a new client, Rainie targets Jean and Daniel, and Ian tries to persuade Ruby to let him use the club for his election winner's party.

Linda's forgotten Mick's birthday, which was the previous day. She berates Shirley for not telling her and decides to host a surprise birthday party for him in the bar. Sonia confesses to Martin that she was the one who stole Dot's money. She explains to him everything about George Watson and what forced her to do it. He's puzzled on the lies that she's fed him, after making him believe that she had everything under control. He confesses to Dot, only saying that he was the one who stole her money. Jean's having a tough day and Daniel entices her to drink in the Vic where they fall under Stuart and Rainie's funeral experience scheme. Which all in all leaves Jean upset, who wishes to only have fond memories. The Slaters are strapped for income and Whitney organises a meeting for Kat with one of her associates Mr Hobbs for a range of cleaning jobs across several factories. However, the interview is a sham when Mr Hobbs tries coming onto Kat in exchange for the jobs whom Kat forces him away with a knife. Ian needs to up his political game and unsympathetically performs an apology to Ruby for a venue at the club. The Mitchells celebrate Phil's birthday. Linda falls off the wagon again and ends up in The Albert beside Sharon. The pair make amends and over a bag of chips, Linda reveals all to Sharon on Keanu's fate. |
