Episode 4019 (29th May 1996)

Plot
Vicky is sickened to find she and Steve are on the front page of the Gazette. Tricia starts work at Baldwin's Sportswear, being trained by Ida. The Duckworths are puzzled over the difference in takings and agree to keep it to themselves. When Claire has a spare twenty minutes in the afternoon she rushes to make love with Des. Betty realises the Duckworths have found something wrong with the books and is furious. She walks out of the pub. Jamie has no money for lunch so offers postage stamps instead at the cafe. Roy realises he is hungry and plays along, hiring his baseball cap for four hours at £1 an hour in exchange for food. Jamie thinks he's mad. Ida is annoyed as training Tricia has slowed her down. When Tricia gives her a sob story about fearing for her job Ida tells Mike she's doing well. The McDonalds visit Steve in prison. He is full of self pity. Norris turns up at the Wiltons telling them he can't take anymore and wants to get drunk to forget all about Angela. Derek feels obliged to help him. Steve accuses Jim of not caring about him. Jim admits he's let him down in the past and swears he'll make it up to him because he loves him. The Duckworths admit to Betty that the takings were up when she was in charge. She points out that is because when they are around they both keep dipping into the till. Steve tells Liz he'd like Fiona to visit him.
