She is more bothered about her own uncertain future at the shop. The Websters return home. Kevin is worried about the trial. Debi Scott offers to sell the shop to Deirdre for £60,000 but Deirdre can't afford it. Debi tells her to run the shop down gradually until she can sell it. She offers the flat to Ken but he refuses to buy it. Alf is confused by Audrey always changing her mind about what she wants. He refuses to sit at home being a house-husband. Sally tells Gail about Joe's declaration. Gail advises her to stop looking after Jonathan. Angie tells Curly that she's trapped and wants out.

- The Granada Plus repeat of this episode on 22nd July 2004 was edited for timing reasons, with the following cuts made to Part Two: an entire scene of 1'03" in 13 Coronation Street where Sally Webster gives Kevin a massage but feels uncomfortable as he sings Joe Broughton's praises; the following scene of 39" where Audrey Roberts arrives home to find a note from Alf saying he has gone to the pub; and the first 1'05" of the following scene in the Rovers, where Alf gloats to Betty Turpin about Audrey returning to an empty house, and a miserable Angie Freeman is rude to Raquel Wolstenhulme and Curly Watts. The ITV3 repeat on 26th September 2019 contained the same edits.
