Plot
Phyllis is astounded to find Raquel living with Des. Angie tells Raquel she's a calculating little cow and tells her that she's wrecking her relationship with Des. Percy and Emily transfer all the charity shop stock to another shop. Jim brings Liz home from hospital. Steve breaks down and has to be comforted by Liz. She refuses to let Steve blame himself - she feels it was her fault that Katherine died. Raquel assures Curly that she is not after Des. She asks him to defend her from Angie's wrath but he accuses her of stringing him along. Jim registers Katherine's birth and death. Deirdre and Ken receive their divorce papers. Alec returns home from the working cruise. Bet gives him a warm welcome. Des tells Raquel he was never serious about Angie. He makes overtures towards her but she tells him that she just wants a friendship with him. She agrees to pay him £20 a week. Vicky is annoyed when Bet insists she returns to boarding school at the right time; she wants to see more of Alec.
