Plot[]
Alma is annoyed that she rarely sees Mike. Builders start working under the viaduct. Tracy is upset that Deirdre is going ahead with the divorce. Mike discovers from Ralph Dobson that Jackie has a buyer coming to see the factory. Mrs Jeffers, headmistress at Weatherfield Comprehensive, asks Ken to crack down on truancy. Bikers descend on No.11. Sally reveals to Emily that Ken has given Alf his notice from the flat. Charlie Travers's offer for the factory is too low. Mike tells Jackie that it's the wrong time to sell. Jim buys an old pickup truck for £600 and two bikes for £200. Liz is horrified. Deirdre is surprised but pleased to hear about Ken leaving. Ken tells Tracy that he's applied for a job in Kent as he wants a fresh start. Ivy attends an open circle meeting at the spiritualist church. Alma is amused to discover Travers was put up by Mike. Don is relieved when Ivy says she's finished with the meetings. She stuns him by saying she can hear the spirits herself.
