Plot[]
Alf is disgusted to see a picture in the Gazette of Audrey battling with Spider. She is furious to discover he's not pressing charges as he wants the issue to die down. Roy enjoys being at the centre of a controversy. Zoe pays Toyah to babysit so she can go clubbing with Ashley. He isn't happy with the idea of a child looking after Shannon but is forced to go along with the plan. When Ken presses Deirdre for details over her split with Jon she tells him it's none of his business. Fred tells Ashley to put his foot down with Zoe as she's taking him for a ride. Ashley tells him that he likes her and doesn't care if she does nothing about the house. Fred asks Maud's advice on how they can free Ashley. She tells him the only thing he can do is evict them all from No.4. Spider plans to move the campaign to the Red Rec and to start tunnelling. Ashley can't enjoy himself at the club as he worries about Shannon. Toyah panics when she can't stop Shannon crying and runs to Janice for help. Ashley decides to return home but Zoe refuses to stop clubbing as she's having a great time. Deirdre decides that she won't be able to cope with the gossip about her so she'll have to leave Weatherfield.
