Plot[]
Miss Mooney and Mr Price, the VAT inspectors, go through Alec's books at the Rovers. Emily doesn't want to have her sanity debated over in court. Ivy doesn't want anyone to know that Don has finished with her. Jim closes the bike shop. Alec buys a mouse to tempt the spider out into the open. Curly contemplates having a skylight fitted into the roof of No.7 so that he can resume his astronomy with his new telescope. He hasn't got the money so Reg advises him to put Angie's rent up. Alec is furious when the mouse escapes. Raquel goes to meet the players at Weatherfield County FC with publicist Gordon Blinkhorn. At the grounds she meets footballer Wayne Farrell, the star striker. She falls for him. Ivy tells Gail that Don doesn't want to see her any more. Gail comforts her. Mike tells Ken, publicly, that he's dropping the case as he doesn't want to cause Emily any more distress. The VAT people tell a horrified Alec that he owes £3,500 in underpayment.
