Episode 7880 (1st June 2012)

Plot
Tina and Tommy's argument is interrupted by Rita, who arrives to show off her wedding dress. Tina makes Tommy call Rick to tell him he won't do any more cars as she thinks he's bluffing by threatening to have Tommy put in hospital. Karl refuses to leave the casino while he's winning but he finds the strength to do so. Kirsty convinces the factory girls to strike. They tell Carla they will return to work when Eileen is reinstated. Rick appears at the flat. Rita thinks he is a friend of Tommy's. Tina tells him to find someone else to stash drugs. Sunita suggests to Karl that she hold onto his winnings and pay him a bit at a time so he isn't tempted to gamble it. Karl accuses her of treating him like a child. Tina and Tommy find Rick with two heavies in the garage. He makes Tina watch while they give Tommy a beating. Dev tells Sunita he had to shut the shop as he couldn't track her down. He is annoyed that she has been AWOl so much lately. Carla and Michelle struggle to find agency workers to man the machines. Peter convinces Carla to be diplomatic with the factory girls as she needs them. Rita threatens to have Tina beaten next. Carla tells the girls she'll consider giving Eileen her job back if they return to work immediately. Eileen tells them they're wasting their time striking as Steve has given her back her job on the switchboard at Street Cars. Leanne shares her woes with Nick. Karl apologises to Sunita and gives her his winnings, accepting her offer. Tommy decides to run away as he'll never be free of Rick but Tina tells him they'll face him together.
