Plot[]
Don gets annoyed by the off-hand way Maxine treats Ashley. He tells her all hairdressers are the same and she's as bad as Denise for leading men on. She is stunned by the outburst. Samantha confides in Curly that although she fancies Sean she hates sex. He is stunned when she tells him she was once married. Gail tells Roy she wants to sort out a loan to buy his 20% and is amazed when he tells her he doesn't want to sell 20%; he agreed the person with the most experience should have the majority share and thinks that is him as he has worked most of his adult life in catering and is well-versed with a four-star hotel kitchen. Gail is dismayed. Liz tells Fraser she'd like to give him the £1,000 back. He accepts this on the condition she accepts something else from him. She introduces him to Deirdre, who is horrified to see him out of prison and working with Liz. Tony buys a new sports car. Ashley is concerned when Maxine lays into him over Don criticising her over her treatment of him. Ashley tells Don to keep out of his love life. Deirdre can't understand why Liz is still with Fraser until she realises that she fancies him. Liz is embarrassed by Deirdre's concern. Jack tries to steer Tricia away from naming the baby Terry, saying Terry is lowlife and she's better off without him. Fiona calls at The Hour Glass, curious to see Fraser. He is charming towards her, recognising her as Steve's old flame. Tricia decides to call the baby Brad and tells Vera he'll be bottle-fed. Sean tells Samantha that sex isn't everything. She tells him she does want a normal relationship and feels she might need counselling. He tells her he's prepared to wait for her, until she's ready. Liz is stunned when Fraser buys her a car. She tells him he confuses her but when he tells her how attracted he is to her she kisses him passionately.
