Plot[]
Vera and Jack leave the Rovers. Vera tells Natalie that they've nowhere to go but she'd rather sleep in the streets than in the pub. She wishes they'd never left No.9. Sally tries to stop Kevin taking Alison away with the girls but he insists she comes with them. Nita is put out when Ashley takes her to the wholesalers. She panics when she's recognised by the shoppers. Spider is bored of being with Lorraine and plans to finish with her. Sally warns Alison off attempting to mother her children. Jack finds accommodation at Park Road B&B, run by Eunice Gee, now a widow after Fred's death. She takes a fancy to him and offers him her best room thinking he's single. Martin has an interview at a nursing agency but doesn't get anything because of the drug trolley mix-up. He is bitter. Sally is upset to see how happy the girls are with Alison. Eunice is put out to find Jack is married but warms when she recognises Vera. Lorraine cooks Spider a meal and suggests they move in together at No.6. She is upset when he tells her that he'd rather not. The Websters and Alison go away to Centre Parcs. Ashley is shocked to see Nita being kissed by an older man.
