Plot[]
The Blackpool paper carries a report of the life-saving. Gary is forced to admit he was the hero. He plays the incident down and refuses to talk to the paper when Vera contacts them. Mark refuses to be manipulated by Linda, insisting that Mike must never find out about them. Mike discharges himself from hospital, against the doctor's orders. Maria and Tyrone's hopes for time alone are ruined by Vera who keeps chaperoning them. Roy considers starting up a neighbourhood watch scheme. Mike refuses to change his lifestyle and reveals to Fred that Mark is the main beneficiary under his will, until he marries Linda. Vera and Norris enjoy dancing at the Tower Ballroom and decide to enter a competition. A local woman, Celeste Pickersgill, is taken with Norris's style. Linda tells Mark that Mike needs him more than ever and he can't leave. Mark hates the thought of her being tied to a sick old man and makes love to her. Emily takes to living completely in her living room. She admits to Spider that she can't sleep and her nerves are in shreds. She fears the thugs will return. He promises to look after her.
