Plot[]
Deirdre gets fed up with running Underworld whilst Mike is obsessed with finding Julia Stone. She urges him not to neglect Alma and remind her of what she's missing. Toyah tries to befriend Owen Williams but he's always working. Sally decides that she's finished with men and from now on is going to concentrate on the girls. Beryl Peacock is bitter that Fred has told Ashley the truth and is upset that Ashley is suffering. She tells Fred he's ruined everything. Les complains about the inactive social club at the Happy Days Holiday Park and brightens things up by unearthing a karaoke. Nita has her Freshco's interview and ignores Ravi when he urges her to reconsider. Beryl tells Ashley that she'll always look upon him as her son. He harshly tells her to face up to the truth that she's just his aunt. She maintains she's been a good mother and moves him by telling him how she first held him in her arms. Alma mellows towards lonely Mike before discovering he's cancelled her credit cards. Ashley breaks down when he remembers how Fred comforted him at Sam Peacock's funeral when he thought his father was dead. He can't cope with the deceit and tells Beryl and Fred that he never wants to see them again.
