Plot
Aiden puts his job offer in the bin. Stella is upset as the Gazette carries the story of the Pub of the Year fiasco. Nick re-employs Lewis at the bistro. Lewis gives his wages to Audrey and earns Nick and Gail's sympathy. Gail is annoyed as Audrey continues to ignore her calls. Maria realises she's coming between Marcus and Aiden. Wendy withdraws her allegation and resigns from the board of governors. Ken also resigns as he feels Brian is partly to blame for what happened. Maria confides in Audrey that she kissed Marcus and is in love with him. Audrey thinks she's being ridiculous. Ken decides not to resign, at Deirdre's urging. Stella tries to organise a football team to play for the Rovers against other Newton & Ridley pubs. Lloyd agrees to manage it. Ken surprises Deirdre with a meal at the bistro. She is thrilled. Maria puts Aiden's job offer in with Marcus's post. Marcus finds it and questions Aiden. He isn't happy to find out Maria has been meddling. Lloyd fixes Mandy up with a job in the kitchen at the Rovers. Maria tells Marcus she loves him. They kiss passionately and he leads her into the bedroom.
