Plot[]

Len rings for an ambulance when he and Lucille can't wake Annie. Tommy keeps Dick away from the Rovers while Minnie collects for the Dolores fund. The residents wonder if Annie was attempting suicide. Ena blames herself, as do a lot of the regulars. The ambulance men carry Annie through the bar. Lucille returns from the hospital and tells everyone Annie only took four tablets and has had her stomach pumped. The regulars find it hilarious. Ken helps Norma expand her vocabulary. Annie returns with Dr. Mitchell. Lucille expects to be told off but instead Annie thanks her for her concern and prompt action, as she feels years younger. Minnie collects £30 for Tommy. Dick realises Tommy is scamming the residents when Maggie and Norma tackle him in the shop about putting Dolores to the slaughter. He goes to the Rovers and tells everyone the truth. Tommy tries to wriggle out of it by claiming Dick is lying to save his reputation but Dick also reveals that he's illiterate, so he didn't know he was signing Dolores's death warrant. Tommy makes a speech about how hurt he is by the accusations and manages to escape before everyone turns on him. They give the money to Dick to install a stove in the stables. Norma confesses that she likes Ken.
