Plot[]
Scene of crime squad arrives at No.7. Ken tries to see Wendy but she's had enough and tells him to tell Deirdre about their affair. The police search Alan's bedsit. Tina refuses to speak to Eddie and tells him to go back to his wife. Ken is furious when Mike jokes to Deirdre that Ken has a girlfriend. Ken tells him to stay away from Deirdre. Wendy calls at The Kabin to see Deirdre. She is annoyed as Deirdre obviously doesn't know about the affair. Eddie swears to Tina that he's not married. A gleeful Mike tells Robert Prescott that he bought the petrol station from under his nose for £150,000. He offers it to Robert for £250,000. Robert shatters him by telling him that he's not interested in the land and reveals Mike bought the land off him all along through an intermediary and it's useless. He suggests that Mike stays in his own league in future.
