Emily feels Percy is jealous of Olive Clarke's fiancé but he remains adamant that he did not propose to her. Andy assures Amy that he doesn't have a brilliant career in front of him and wouldn't be throwing it away. Vera throws a party for Tommy. She is thrown when the Hortons turn up but makes an effort to be nice to them. Jeff Horton suggests that the Duckworths have a holiday in Blackpool with them. Jack and Vera are keen as it's free. Reg puts Maureen off coming round to the flat. Percy admits to Emily that Olive did turn him down. He says he's glad she did as he now sees that he only proposed out of loyalty. He agrees to go to the wedding although he's still against it. Audrey is exhausted after working all day causing Alf to grumble about his lack of social life. Amy is stunned when Andy suggests that they get married. Maureen cooks a special meal for Reg, planning to leave it at his flat for when he returns from work. Reg tells Debi Scott that he'd like to buy the corner shop. He offers her £48,000 but she says it's not enough. Maureen is horrified to find him pleading with Debi. She flees.
