Plot
Janice recoils from the advances Les is making towards her. She feels guilty about Dennis but agrees to a cosy night in with Les. Todd tries to persuade Candice to make the first move with Sarah so that they become friends again, but to no avail. Todd tells Sarah he will sort it with Candice, but Sarah tells him not to bother. Molly tells Dennis and Kevin she has a date. Kevin reacts jealously and Dennis teases Kevin about his relationship with Molly. Curly tells Spider about Emma and the baby and almost spills the beans about Toyah. Spider asks Toyah to dinner telling her to bring Sam - Spider is pleased when she says she will go alone. Norris is not pleased that he has to go out while Spider entertains Toyah. Rita puts him in his place. Toyah reckons it may be better if she didn't tell Spider about the rape, but does so after their night together. Spider is gutted that he was not there for her. Tyrone closes his and Maria's wedding account and tells Maria that he will give his share back to Jack and Vera as well. Todd's efforts to make Candice see sense pay off and she offers to talk to Sarah, but Sarah doesn't accept what Candice has to say. Fred bumps into Jimmy heading towards Underworld. He is alarmed when he sees Jimmy's friend is carrying a baseball bat. He rushes to Eve and begs her to prevent Jimmy from hurting Mike. Jimmy slaps Mike in the face and Mike is clearly scared. Fred and Eve turn up in time before Jimmy is able to do any serious damage. She tells her son she will not stand by what he is doing and makes it clear she is loyal only to Fred. Mike is grateful for Eve's intervention. Janice has her cosy meal with Les, but is suspicious of his motives but is feeling guilty about what she has done with Dennis. Les tells her what she means to him and it all gets too much for Janice and she cries.
