Plot[]
The factory staff are still worried about their wages and when they discover they still haven't been paid, they confront Tony. Realising he's lied to them, the workforce down tools and walk out. Desperate to get the order out, he offers them a sub to come back to work - they accept. Fiz has only been back at work a day but when she gets a call from her mum Cilla in South Africa, she tells Tony that she has to take time off immediately because of a family crisis. Peter is surprised when his visit to Lucy's solicitor proves extremely lucrative. She's left him everything in her estate on the proviso that he brings up Simon. Once back on the street, Peter immediately makes Dan an offer for the bookies and Ken is delighted that he's decided to stay around and bring up his son. However, Ken's pleasure turns to dismay when he discovers that Peter has only done it for the money. Gail is loving the attention she is getting from Joe but is worried about how David will react when he finds out. She doesn't have to wait too long, however, when David, Tina and Graeme return home unexpectedly and catch them together. Tara turns up at the corner shop and is not best pleased to find Dev and Eileen sharing a joke. She demands some answers from Dev and asks him to tell her the real reason why he finished with her.
