PlotEdit

The fire brigade arrive to put out the flames whilst the residents row with Jim, accusing him of endangering them all. Mrs Gardner, the debt collector, calls in the police. Emma has to caution Jim, making him see that the situation could have got out of hand. Linda starts her friend Karen Phillips from Wheelers at Underworld and Edna Miller moves from packing onto the floor. Tyrone passes off a Jaguar as his dad's and offers to take Maria out in it for a day trip. Audrey offers to pay for a Platt family portrait. Linda warns Karen not to tell her family about her being engaged to Mike. Tyrone is horrified when the Jaguar's owner collects it for the weekend. Steve fears Jez's reaction to him testifying against him.
