Maxine tries emotional blackmail to get her job back but Fiona takes no notice. Maud reads her palm, advising her to consider her actions more carefully. Liz applies for a job at the Hour Glass wine bar. She plans a night out there with Deirdre. Tricia offers her services to Ken to mind Daniel but he refuses as he wants a registered minder. She rows with him for not giving her a break. Alma is disappointed when she has a meeting with Carrie Meyer and not Stephen Reid. Fiona is stressed at the Salon. She is annoyed that Maxine has not apologised. Tony tries to solve her domestic problems by asking her to move into a flat with him. She isn't keen so he accuses her of always comparing him to Steve. He tells her he's enough and they should finish. Ken contacts an ex-pupil who has trained in nursery nursing. Alma is pleased when Stephen takes her drinking after her meeting with Carrie. At the Hour Glass, Tricia is picked up by Mal Price and encourages Liz and Deirdre to mix with his pals. Maxine confronts Fiona over her break up with Tony. She apologises for being hard work and Fiona gives her her job back. Gail and Martin are uneasy when Sarah Louise tells them she's seen Ivy at the bedroom window.
