Plot
Merle encourages Jason to go and make up with Eileen as she wants rid of him but Jason doesn't take the hint and refuses. Audrey starts getting the salon ready for re-opening. Maria and Candice both ask her for a job but they end up rowing with each other and Audrey refuses to take either of them on. Tracy goes shopping with Shelley for her bridesmaid dress. She natters on to Shelley about what sort of wedding she and Dev will have. Shelley keeps quiet. Tony calls to see Eileen and asks her to try and persuade Jason to come home. Eileen agrees although she realises that she will be doing Tony's dirty work for him. Vera has another go at Gail over her lost savings. She tells Gail that as Richard spent the money on her and her family, she ought to pay Vera back. Tracy tells Shelley that she's getting divorced from Robert Preston and that she's letting him have everything as she'll have plenty of money when she marries Dev. Bev apologises to Roy for playing a joke on him. Steve tells Dev that he wants Karen back. Dev suggests he should tell Karen rather than him. Shelley can no longer keep it a secret and tells Tracy that Dev has no intention of marrying her. Tracy is upset and then furious. She plans to get even.
