Ricky sneaks out of Sam's bedroom window, but Kevin catches him. Sam asks Kevin not to say anything and he agrees. Frank agrees to help Ricky dodge the police for the day in order to attend his blessing. The B&B is set-up for the party. Mark takes Ricky to the church by motorbike. Dot and Ethel head to the church with Nick for the funeral. Peggy's determination to keep Sam away from Ricky results in Sam getting deeply upset. She tells Peggy she will never forgive her for what she has done. Peggy gets emotional and realises she cannot stop her daughter seeing Ricky, so gets dressed up to attend the blessing. The blessing goes ahead with residents enjoying the occasion. Charlie's funeral takes place straight after and residents stay to attend it. Frank opens the door to police at the B&B, interrupting the party. Dot tells Nick she is going to help him get clean from drugs, no matter how much it costs. Nick wonders how she will get the money - she assures him she will get it somehow. |
