Youths playing their music loudly at 3am keeps Pete up. Arthur hears the house door open and goes to investigate. He finds Aidan outside in his underwear - he has been sleepwalking. The next morning, Arthur takes it upon himself to talk to Aidan about his sleepwalking, but he does not know what to say. He talks to Kathy about the situation, unaware that Mandy can hear. Jack finds Michelle in the market and flirts with her. She tells him she is not looking for a relationship, but he claims he is looking for a local dentist. She apologises for thinking he might be stalking her. Nigel panics when water leaks from one of the launderette washing machines. He opens the door and water pours out. He ends up seeking help from Pauline to rectify the problem. Mandy tells Aidan that he was sleepwalking and Arthur was talking about it. Aidan is embarrassed and runs off. Arthur follows, aware he is upset. Pete spends the evening alone at his flat. Aidan returns to Number 45. Pauline suggests he phones his mother and talks to her. The doorbell rings at Pete's flat - it is Rose. Ricky and Sam's night together goes well until Michelle tells Sam there is a taxi outside waiting for her and she leaves in it. Pete and Rose talk. She admits she likes him, and life is too short to wait around. They dance together in the flat as Pete asks her about her last husband. They then kiss. |
