Plot[]
Deirdre feels sorry for Emily having had the shock of Brendan's death. Colin moves out of No.6. Audrey decides she belongs in Weatherfield and there's no way that she's moving to Lytham St Annes. Alf accuses her of being hysterical. She doesn't know how to convince him. Deirdre and Emily plan to close the shop in respect but Alf points out they'd do better to stay open so Mrs Scott can make more money. Jack is pleased that Brendan is dead as he can now forget about paying his debt. Colin wants to move into The Queens but Liz refuses to let him, saying she's not ready for that. Mark enjoys making money cleaning the cars. Nicky is grateful when Jim gives him money for running odd errands. To prove she's serious about staying, Audrey tells Alf that she'll get a job. Emily goes on her pottery and painting holiday. Colin returns to No.6. Sally asks Kevin if they can try for another baby. He tells her that he does want another baby but is worried it would be born when he's in prison.
