Plot[]
Fred supplies his home-made pies to the Duckworths whilst Jack plays the breweries off each other to lower beer prices. Alf is pleased when Harry Potts gets nine months for embezzlement. Vicky is annoyed when Steve arranges to go to a casino with a client. The Duckworths worry when customers, led by Percy, complain about the pies giving them stomach ache. Steve asks Fiona if they can be friends but she advises him to concentrate on his marriage. Raquel feels down after a modelling assignment handing out leaflets. She breaks down and tells Curly that she thinks she'll never be a good model. He tells her that it doesn't matter so long as people care for her. Vicky goes to the casino with Steve and puts a £150 limit on him. He is furious when she refuses to give him more money when he loses the £150. Jack falls for the stomach bug and can't serve. He accuses Fred of poisoning them all but Fred accuses him of serving bad beer. Martin stops them by saying there's a stomach bug going around. Steve sleeps on the sofa, accusing Vicky of wanting to control him. He tells her that he doesn't want to be married to her if she won't trust him. Vicky is distraught.
