[Ken Barlow|Ken]] waits for Deirdre to return from her night out with Audrey. He accuses her of spreading vicious rumours about Mark to hurt him because she's jealous. He tells her she should have told Tracy the whole truth - including her affair with Mike. Kevin refuses to carry the blame for Steve's accident. Percy is certain Alf is selling out of date Christmas puddings. When Mike asks him to drive the Jaguar, Steve admits he hasn't got a licence. Mike is furious and sacks him. Ken demands to know from Maggie about her relationship with Mike. She tells him the truth and swears she's tried to block Mike out of her life for years. He tells her about Mike's affair with Deirdre and his marriage to Susan. She is mortified as he explains he doesn't know if he can continue seeing her. Kevin tells Mike that as Steve hasn't got a licence his insurance on the Jaguar is void. Kevin agrees to present his licence at the police station to help Mike out on the condition he re-employs Steve. Mike is forced into agreeing. Percy swears to Gail he heard Carmel pass David off as her own. Maggie begs Ken not to throw away all they've got. Denise opens the Salon with assistant Fiona Middleton. Their cut-price cuts bring in the customers. Bet and Rita have beauty treatment. Gail is relieved when Carmel admits to passing David off as hers to stop a woman getting at her for being a babysitter. Kevin produces his licence at the police station where it is accepted without comment. Percy gets at Alf over the puddings, roping Betty in for her opinion. Alf threatens to spread rumours about her cooking and says he'll eat a pudding to prove it's safe. Mike congratulates Kevin for breaking the law. Kevin feels put on.
