Plot[]
Depressed Steve moves out of his flat and into the cafe flat with Fiona. Mike enjoys his discomfort and shouts insults as he watches him move out. Alma is stunned to receive a letter telling her Jim Sedgewick died three months ago and has left her £2,000. Reg keeps his wig in the car so Maureen won't find it. He fears she will think him less a man if she finds it. Steve is angry that people will be crowing at his downfall. Alma is amazed when Mike doesn't give her advice on how to invest her windfall. Josie enjoys cooking a meal for Don. He is pleased by the attention. Alma decides she wants to buy a car. Jon knows of one being sold so she views it. Audrey tries to get Gail to keep an eye on Martin but backs out of telling her why. Fiona is glad she's moved somewhere with Steve as she always felt like a lodger at his flat. Steve collects the £500 deposit money from the Quays flat. Norris shows off his gold cufflinks, a gift from Angela. Derek is staggered when Norris thanks him for his good advice on Angela liking forceful men. Reg tries to suss out Maureen's opinion of wigs but she thinks he's hinting she needs cosmetic surgery and is affronted. After their meal, Josie suggests she stays the night and is hurt when Don refuses to let her. At the dogs, Sean sees Steve win. He takes his money, £800, off him, watched by Des.
