Plot
Sophie's looking at Chesney's birth certificate. She queries why there's no mention of his dad. Chesney's embarrassed and tries to make excuses. Living under the same roof is starting to get on both Emily's and Rita's nerves although neither wants to admit it. Chesney tries to find out who his real dad is but Cilla's got no idea. Mike has a great time in the Rovers with all his friends and family. Danny's gutted knowing this will be Mike's last evening in the pub before going into a home. Norris throws a party in Rita's flat. Rita's upset to see he's re-arranged her furniture and cleared away all her knick knacks. Vernon tells Liz the vocalist of his band has just quit and they're having an emergency meeting. Jamie's surprised to find Sean's come clean and told everyone about his abortive date. Norris's party is a flop and everyone leaves early and heads for the Rovers. Only Blanche stays even though Bev apologises to her and offers her a free drink. Chesney asks Les if he'll adopt him as he's more of a dad to him than anyone else. Les is touched and agrees to do it. Danny comes to the decision that Mike would be best off in a nursing home. He doesn't tell Jamie.
