Nicky gets upset when Gail and Brian row in front of him when Gail refuses to sign the divorce papers. He tells them that he hates it when they shout.

She dresses up to please him. Terry clears the yard of his personal belongings. Brian takes Gail to a restaurant. They start to reminisce about the past. Bet wants to bring new custom into the Rovers. Brian is forced to admit that he's missed Gail. They come close to a reconciliation but Brian draws back, saying he can't forgive her; he's too selfish. She says that she'll give him time but his mind is made up. He threatens to stop paying the rent on the house if she doesn't sign the divorce papers.
