Plot[]
Madame Tzara calls off her tarot-reading evening at the Rovers as she feels that she'll break down on the way. Maureen is disappointed and offers Maud's services to Bet instead. Andy moves into the cafe flat. Sally is amazed when Gail tells her that Kevin told Martin what Hazel said. She worries when he shouts at Jonathan saying that he no longer likes the boy. Maud sets herself up as a gypsy in Bet's living room, reading palms. Maureen helps her by miming pieces of information to her. Vera has hers read and is told that she's getting good fortune. Maud tells Curly that he's already met his future wife - at work. He walks out when she tells him that he'll never succeed in business. Raquel returns to Weatherfield.
