Warren's mother, Paula Shipley, pays a visit to thank Gary and offers to take them to the fair - he accepts. Les decides to cash in on the local burglaries by buying a load of empty alarm boxes for people to put on their houses. Gary tells Paula about Judy's death. She tells him about her divorce. They enjoy each other's company. Alma visits Mike. He admits to her that he thought he was going to die and says he's not ready for that yet. Ken is thrilled when his disc is handed in at the Gazette. Tyrone is determined to win Maria a cuddly toy at the funfair but doesn't have any luck. Danny installs a burglar alarm system for Emily at No.3. She tells Spider she won't be beaten by thugs and sends him back to the bedsit.
