PlotEdit

Jack is exasperated as Vera determines to pay for Lisa's funeral. She doesn't care if it takes place in Blackpool but feels that she cared more for Lisa than her parents did. Vera is certain Terry longs to have Tommy himself, Jack isn't so sure. Raquel offers Des comfort, saying that she really liked Lisa. Vera is stunned when Terry tells her that he doesn't want Tommy and advises her to give him to the Hortons. Vera makes him change his mind by pointing out he may be released early if he has a dependant. Tracy arranges to meet Doug at the Building Society but doesn't turn up. He is furious as he's taken time off work. When he finds her at home he warns her to stop playing games. Des is uncomfortable when Ivy tries to counsel him and pray with him - he doesn't think it's for him. Des tells Angie and Curly that he's determined to attend the funeral.
