Sanjay chases Arthur up for the dress - he has to think creatively to retrieve it without Pauline noticing. Carol is full of worry for Robbie. Michelle and Geoff spend time together on the market. Pauline catches Arthur trying to take the dress out of the house and asks what he is doing. He claims he is taking it to the dry-cleaners, and she takes it off his hands, reminding him that she works at the launderette. Steve notices Binnie turning up on George Street, and wants to talk to her about Della. Geoff and Michelle have a drink at the Vic. An awkward atmosphere arises between Michelle and Sharon. Steve asks Binnie if he is wasting his time with Della. She tells him to consider the possibility that Della simply is not interested in him. Arthur sneaks around the market and into the launderette, avoiding Sanjay at all costs. He tries getting into the staff room where Pauline has put the dress, but it is locked. Pauline then walks in and catches him behind the counter. Nigel has been ignoring advice from Debbie about the fatty foods he eats. Phil has to cancel his and Kathy's planned evening together thanks to work at the Arches. Pauline learns that Sanjay needs her dress back so happily hands it over, and then tells Arthur he can buy her another one. Nigel binge eats at home and suddenly cripples over. He calls an ambulance thinking he is having a heart attack. Phil and Grant learn of his health turn and rush to the hospital to be by his side. A doctor later confirms Nigel simply had indigestion. Sanjay phones Meena, determined to sort things out between them. Binnie suggests to Della that she plucks up the courage to tell Steve she is not interested in him. Kathy and Michelle arrive at a nightclub and tell men they are pregnant so they do not have to dance with them. Della walks Binnie back to the bus stop after their evening together at the Vic. The pair kiss before Binnie leaves. Michelle persuades Kathy to head to the dance floor with her, where she is left speechless when she spots Geoff dancing with another woman. |
