Pete and Mickey buy lager at the Corner Shop and take note of Maud being wheelchair bound. Mike is horrified when the fire alarm goes off at the factory. Angie evacuates the building and he fears another business will go up in smoke. When they discover Leanne has been smoking in the toilets and set the alarm off they sack her on the spot. Vera tells Jack she wants a big party for their anniversary. Martin agrees to going out with Kevin before realising Natalie will be cooking a meal. Janice is furious when Leanne loses her job and turns on Angie. Steve is annoyed that Fiona doesn't appear jealous of Rachel. Mickey and Pete frighten Maud when they lock the shop and start raiding the alcohol shelves. When she tries to get help they tip her out of her wheelchair. Gail refuses to dine with Kevin and Natalie, telling Martin to get them out of it. Maureen is horrified to see Pete and Mickey speeding off after robbing the shop.
