PlotEdit

Gary packs up the house but panics when Paula doesn't turn up to help with the move. He fears she's having second thoughts. Tyrone feels he can no longer afford a car as he's promised Maria a diamond engagement ring. Roy worries that he won't be able to cope if he is asked to adopt a troubled child. Tyrone is sad as Eric Sutherland collects his two pups. When David blames Bethany for the Platts splitting, Sarah tells him it's because Martin had an affair. Gary is relieved when Paula arrives having overslept. Toyah helps Phil Simmonds ask around after Duggie's bully-boy tactics. David knows he's going to hate the divorce so Sarah promises to help him cope, so long as he stops getting at Bethany. Ashley is horrified when he realises that he's given Maxine's dry cleaning to Emily's jumble sale. Gary hands over the keys to No.9 to the Duckworths and they wave him off as he leaves the Street.
