Plot[]
When the Platts discover that Monica's pup costs £400 they tell a disappointed David that he can't have it. Pat and Steve finish the medical centre job. An impressed Duggie buys the builders drinks all day. Deirdre sorts out paperwork at the shop for Dev. Fred worries when he hears that a supermarket is to open near his butcher's shop. Duggie suggests he relocates to Victoria Street. The Platts are relieved when David agrees to take on a dog from a rescue centre. The builders hold an arm-wrestling competition between themselves. Vinny gets tired of Duggie bragging and throwing his weight around. They do battle but to distract Vinny, Duggie suggests the winner gets the other's girlfriend as Natalie needs a real man. Vinny is enraged and attacks him. Rita feels uncomfortable when she sees Anthony with his wife and sees how tender he is with her. Duggie and Vinny drunkenly make up. Duggie offers Vinny a job for life. Tyrone minds Tommy at the garage, but Doreen Horton snatches him while his back is turned. Vera is horrified to see them driving away together.
