Plot
Rob Lucas tells Peter he's managed to get the money together again to buy the Betting Shop. Peter is gutted. Steve tells Peter that he and Karen will help him place the money he nicked backing horses in order to win enough to buy the Bookies himself instead of Rob. Duggie asks Sunita out and tells her that he's dumped Shelley. Sunita tells him where to go as she already knows that it was Shelley who dumped him, not the other way round. A lad in Todd's class daubs "Ms Ramsden is a wino" on the wall at school. Charlie blames Todd again and he has to go and see the Head. Matt has a go at Todd in the Street. Ashley confides in Audrey that Maxine has been a bit distant recently and he's worried. Audrey manages to cover up for Maxine and says she's fine. Peter Hartnell visits Roy and Hayley and tells them that once the dust has settled he would be happy for them to foster again when their suspension has been lifted. Fiz tells Tyrone that Maria will have found someone else by now and he should forget about her. Tyrone is heartbroken and annoyed with Fiz. Peter decides that he's going to go through with Steve's idea.
