Plot
Liz is amazed when Deirdre tells her about Jon's wife and children. Emily feels Spider is a breath of fresh air and is glad he's living with her. Deirdre feels a fool for being so lonely she was taken in by Jon. She is stunned when Jon turns up, telling her he loves her. He tells her Linda is no longer his wife but he has to spend time with her as she keeps threatening to kill the children. Toyah is upset when Les warns her against spending time with Spider as he's probably got fleas. Roy and Spider hold a protest meeting against the concert bowl. Alf tells the meeting that the project will create jobs and doesn't understand what all the fuss is about. Spider warns the meeting that the Council won't rest until all the trees in Weatherfield are cut down. Jon promises Deirdre he is going to leave Linda but she doesn't believe him, telling him she's sick of his lies and throws him out. Nick and Leanne leave for Scotland together. Deirdre realises Jon was prepared to bigamously marry her and is frightened as she fears there's more revelations to come.
