Plot
Audrey regrets what she said to Gail the night before. Gail fills Sarah in on what Audrey said to her. Sarah thinks she really is mad. Audrey phones Gail to apologise but Gail will not accept it until she takes back everything that she said about Richard too. It is Tommy's first day at work and he proves to be a good mechanic. Rita asks Sarah how Audrey is. She becomes suspicious, as the Hillman's all seem unwilling to reveal too much to her. Vik convinces Maria to go out with him again. The police tell Audrey and Archie that they won't be taking matters any further. Kevin and Tyrone invite Tommy to the Rovers. He is unnerved and soon makes his excuses and leaves. Ken gives Todd some tuition on William Blake and love. Todd thinks Ken should be an agony aunt. Audrey goes round to the Hillman's and gets the kids ready to go out for pizza with her. Sarah is suspicious about Audrey's hurry. Vik cancels his date with Maria after losing another bet. Richard and Gail come home to find Audrey trying to take the kids. She tells Gail that she is protecting them but Gail loses her temper and tells Audrey to leave her family alone.
