Episode 5392 (2nd December 2002)

Plot
Angela starts at Underworld. She appears unfriendly to the others as she doesn't want to talk about herself. Tommy tells Katy off for being rude to Tyrone. Later she asks Tyrone out on a date but he refuses - he can't make her out. Emma has to work overtime much to Curly's annoyance. Later she arrives back with Mick Hopwood. Mick and Curly get on well. Sally and Alex Jordan are very much in love but they know they can't do anything about it. Maria lies to Shelley saying that she needs a week off to look after her gran. In fact she gets back together with Vik and they go away for a few days to the Caribbean. Vik pays for it by stealing £2,000 from Street Cars' account. Alex paints a picture of him and Sally standing on a bridge on the mural. Later he papers over it before Kevin gets home. Dev is looking for Vik as he is really worried about Vik's gambling habit. Shelley asks Sunita to be a bridesmaid at her and Peter's wedding. Sally snaps at Kevin, she then apologises and puts it down to to pre-wedding nerves. As Mick drives away from Curly and Emma's he accidentally knocks over Janice who is drunk. There's no harm done. Steve becomes suspicious about Vik and he and Karen search Vik's flat and find the accounts books for Street Cars. It's apparent that Vik has done a runner.
