As Sarah goes back to school, Gail starts looking after Bethany full time. Danny admits to Sally he's jealous of her relationship with Kevin. She agrees to be more thoughtful of him. Toyah is angry to receive a two month eviction notice from Duggie. Gail insists on handing Bethany over to Sarah as soon as she returns from school, making Sarah realise life isn't going to be a breeze. Danny is annoyed when, as he's late home, Sally lets Kevin take the girls swimming. Steve is disturbed when Jez is all matey with him, telling him there's no hard feelings. Mike questions Linda as to why she wants to marry him. She tells him she loves him and can't explain what he means to her. He is delighted when Mark arrives for the wedding.
