Steve is sick of all the flak he's getting from people who think he's done the dirty on Karen. Lucy is still hell bent on revenge. Shelley isn't so keen. Between them they plaster the Bookies in posters saying Peter is a fraud and can't be trusted. Peter turns up and has to close the shop. He is distraught. Shelley feels guilty. Mike interviews both Nick and Deirdre for the trainee manager position at Underworld. Martin tells Sarah about his relationship with Katy. Sarah is disgusted with him. Steve and Karen kiss passionately on the street before disappearing into the flat. Eileen sees them and wonders what on earth is going on. Katy collapses and starts to slip into a diabetic coma.
