Plot[]
Maureen is pleased to celebrate her six-month anniversary running the corner shop. Audrey misses being attended to by Brian Bowes. Christine Bullock is satisfied with Steve's accounts and tells him that they'll put him in the clear. Maureen is put out when Maud celebrates in the Rovers with money from the till whilst she is stuck in the shop. Mavis is put out when Roger Crompton keeps talking about Rita all the time. She tells him that Rita can't cope with platonic relationships with men. Reg congratulates Maureen for running the shop when he felt she wasn't capable. They agree they've been too busy to think about each other. The Platts invite Nick to help them put up the Christmas tree in the café with Sarah and David. He turns up but fails to join in with them and watches sardonically from the sidelines. Steve is pleased when Fiona admits she likes him. Maureen falls asleep in the storeroom and is shouted at by Maud who tells her that thieves could have emptied the shop. Overwrought Maureen accuses her of being no help so Maud tells her that from now on she will only work if she's paid.
