Plot
Maud feels guilty about the money and decides to give it to Sidney Templeton's daughter, Sandra Hesketh. Emily is horrified when Toyah tells her she and Spider have already had sex. Ashley is astonished when Fred tells him his natural mother, Kathleen Gutteridge lives in Oldham, not Australia, and wants to meet him. Alma hears Deirdre is back in the factory but rather than slag her off, makes a show of wishing her well. Jim rows with Lee Sankey, accusing him of turning Steve into a drug runner. When their row becomes heated Vinny throws Lee out of the Rovers, annoying Natalie who felt she was handling the situation herself. Spider starts voluntary work helping the homeless. He tells Emily his love for Toyah is not criminal, so she challenges him to tell Les about it. Ashley feels he's not in control of his emotions but admits to Fred he does want to meet Kathleen. After telling Sidney's daughter she can have the money, Maud reads in the paper that he left £60,000 in his will.
