Plot
Ken asks Andy not to give up school; he's too bright. Jackie Ingram is interested in buying a listed building in the country. Liz agrees to be Deirdre's agent in the elections. Jim is annoyed that Andy blames him for the book backfiring; for talking in the Rovers about it. Gail offers to baby-mind Rosie for Sally so that she can return to work. Des offers Angie £5 an hour to clean the house but she refuses as it's a tip. Emily expects to be Deirdre's agent and is upset when she discovers that Liz is. Jackie proposes to Mike. They view the house. Jim hears that his mother in Belfast has taken a bad turn. He and Liz make plans to see her immediately. Martin tells Gail that she can return to the cafe and he'll look after the children.
