Summary[]
Arthur, Ian, Hattie and Nigel observe the remains of a fire which broke out in the community centre the previous night. Frank visits Pauline to talk about the café but ends up looking at photos from New Zealand. Grant is greeted to threats by Jason Cox, as some of his men want their £25,000.
|
Grant wants to plan a surprise party for Sharon, but it means he has to get her out of the Vic first. Phil refuses to help him, so he asks Michelle who agrees. Pat tries selling a motor to a customer at the car lot but accidentally locks him inside the car. Frank is shocked. Pat thinks she can run the car lot better than Frank so suggests they swap jobs for a week. Frank is unsure but soon agrees when she thinks he is chickening out. Ian goes looking for Cindy. He watches her walk past a café he is in and goes to follow her, but quickly loses sight of her. Grant chucks some homeless men out of the Vic, knowing they are also wanting money. Ian returns to the Square. Frank struggles with the children in the back of the minivan during the school run home. Grant stares at the burnt community centre and gets an idea - cause a fire in the Vic and claim on the insurance, as the Vic is insured to the hills. Phil thinks it is a dangerous idea. Dot snipes at Pauline at the Vic. Pauline retaliates and Dot ends up telling her about Mrs Hewitt staying the night at Number 45 with Arthur. |
