Plot
Raquel is thrilled to be asked to be Betty's bridesmaid and Bet agrees to be Matron of Honour. Bet tells the staff she and Rita are going into partnership. Rita is relieved when Bet agrees to a legal agreement. Vicky is stunned when Steve suggests they buy his own Quayside flat. Rita doesn't like the idea of buying the pub on her own for £68,000. She feels Bet is pushing her too hard and tells her she won't commit herself until she's certain she's doing the right thing. Fiona is pleased to see Steve and Vicky looking miserable. Vicky tells Steve she can't afford to buy a posh flat but he knows it's because he used to live there with Fiona. Des is upset when Vera tells him he'll never see Tommy again. The Wiltons celebrate the news that Des isn't moving. Rita's accountant tells her she can comfortably afford to buy the Rovers. Bet is pleased when Mavis tells her the accountant thinks it's a good idea. Bet tells the customers about the partnership. Betty is pleased when Bet tells her she'll look after the wedding reception for her. Rita doesn't like it when she hears Bet is already talking about their partnership as if it's a done thing.
