Nick takes up a vigil outside Maria's flat. She's refusing to talk to him. Shelley tells Peter that Ciaran made a pass at her. Peter is furious. Ken as Agony Aunt is reading through the problem letters sent in. Deirdre recognises the handwriting on one of them as Blanche's. Emily's piano is carried along the road to the Rovers ready for the Centenary party. Sunita agrees to baby-sit for Emma and Curly so they can go to the party. Peter accuses Ciaran of trying it on with Shelley. Ciaran denies it and says that Shelley made a pass at him. Peter doesn't know what to believe. The Rovers Centenary Party takes place. Norris plays the piano whilst the regulars have a sing-song. Fred is aggrieved at the amount of old pennies which have appeared until Roy tells him that as they are all from 1950 (Emily got them for her 21st birthday) and that they are now worth £10 each. The regulars force Fred to give the proceeds to charity. Peter and Shelley have it out. Shelley is upset that Peter could even question her fidelity. She realises that he doesn't trust her.
