Summary[]
Arthur, Frank, Martin, Pete and Phil all head off to the canal side to fish for the day. Pauline invites Rachel over to Number 45 to ask how she can help Mark. Hattie cries over Steve.
Steve suggests to Hattie that they go to America to start a new life, but she does not want to go. She tries talking to him about Ian's job offer but is unable to. Sam hints to Pat that she intends to move out of the B&B soon. Ricky talks to Frank about Sam's hope for them to move into Mo's old flat but Frank does not want them to. Sam breaks into the flat and looks around. Hattie tells Ian she will take him up on his job offer if he gives her an extra £1 an hour and titles her job 'Admin Manager'. He offers her an extra 50p an hour and the job title and she agrees to work for him again. Willmott-Brown offers Grant £105,000 for the flats, which is £5,000 less than Phil wants. Michelle tells Grant and Mark about the lads' day out that is occurring and the pair rush off to the canal side to see what is going on. Sam shows Hattie around the flat and makes it clear she wants to squat there. Doctor Legg visits Pauline at her request. She tells him that Mark is HIV positive and she does not know what to do. Mark tries talking to Arthur but he will not listen. Doctor Legg supports Pauline and reassures her that Mark is stronger than she thinks. Phil refuses to accept Willmott-Brown's offer, wanting the full amount or nothing. Hattie tells Steve about her job - he does not take the news well. Sam begins moving her stuff from the B&B to the flat, but when her alarm clock goes off in a rubbish bag, Pat makes her talk. Pat witnesses Willmott-Brown leaving the Square as she heads to work at the Vic. She tells Grant, Michelle, Phil and Sharon about "Brown"'s true identity. Pauline tries talking to Arthur but once again gets nowhere. Michelle is adamant that the Mitchell brothers are not to take Willmott-Brown up on his offer. Willmott-Brown then phones and offers the full asking price. Michelle encourages Sharon not to let the Mitchell's take him up on his offer, but she loses the battle as Sharon gives Grant the go-ahead to accept the offer. |
