Episode 6192 (26th December 2005)

Plot
The Baldwin family worry about Mike's mental health after yesterday's events. Adam is at first confident that Mike will be fine but Penny convinces him that Mike needs serious help, but they fail to convince Mike himself of that. Viv says it's no wonder he's cracking up with Penny around.

Steve won't drop the subject of the money. Ronnie tells him it won't be a problem. Jimmy sends Ronnie an amethyst bracelet. Steve worries how it got into Liz's flat, where he found it. Not happy, he accuses Ronnie of getting off on the situation. Ronnie thinks Jimmy knows about the money as he's asked to see her. Sickened, Steve blurts out a hurtful remark about Jimmy knocking Ronnie around. Ronnie storms off.

Meanwhile, Jamie finds Carol's not in her room; he says she's probably out drunk. Frankie comforts him but he's uncomfortable with the intimacy between them.

Sophie's still after a booster bra but Sally's adamant she's too young. Janice is touched when Leanne buys her a posh (for her!) figurine. Cilla reminisces to Les about her her mum used to treat her. She threatens Mr Wong with tribunals if she's out of a job.

Elsewhere, Craig takes Rosie upstairs to 'listen to music', making Keith uncomfortable. Claire and Ashley are mortified that Fred's told half the street their baby news.
