Nigel is upbeat. He wants to borrow Phil's car for his upcoming date with Debbie, so he works at the Arches with Phil cleaning it. Gita suspects Tricky Dicky of being behind Ian's business collapse. Ian lets Steve go and cuts Hattie's hours down to a part-time contract. Arthur notices Greg coming out of the launderette and heads over to suss out what he told Pauline. Ricky notices a briefcase which a customer left in the back of Clyde's minicab. Frank is unsure what they should do with it and finds a business card with the customer's phone number on it. They find cash in the suitcase and count it but decide against taking it, instead phoning the customer. The customer collects his briefcase and gives Frank and Ricky the name of a horse to bet on in return. He tells them the bets on the horse will most probably be 5/1 odds. Arthur turns up at Christine's house to find out what is going on. Phil's car is cleaned, and he heads off into town to have some drinks. He spots Kathy heading into the Vic and entices her to become his drinking partner for the evening and they get along quite well. Greg turns up at the bistro whilst Christine is working and refuses to leave. She banishes Greg from the bistro when he starts pressing her on Arthur. Greg heads over to Number 45 while Christine phones Arthur at the Vic and tells him to look after himself. Arthur returns home and is shocked to see Greg and Pauline together in the living room waiting for him. |
