Plot[]
Sally's sick of Kevin's whinging and realises that she needs a break. Joe takes her and the kids out to celebrate Rosie's birthday. Once again he offers Sally a home with him but she insists she loves Kevin. Steve can't make deliveries for Mike now he's banned from driving but Mike's puzzled by how readily the lad accepts a drop in wages. Percy and Phyllis bring in the Gazette to investigate Alf's refusal to accept discount vouchers from OAPs. Alf's furious and threatens to sue. Denise discovers which number the mystery phone calls have been coming from and when she challenges Ivy, Don confesses.

Notes[]
- TV Times synopsis: Denise comes face-to-face with her tormentor. Percy wages battle against the scrooge of the Street.
- Viewing Figures: UK broadcast - 17,650,000 viewers (2nd place - combined figure including repeat).
- The Granada Plus repeat of this episode on 29th September 2004 was edited for timing reasons, omitting the first 49" of a Rovers' scene in Part Two, where Jack Duckworth asks Curly Watts to consider Terry for a job at Bettabuy but has his request turned down. The ITV3 repeat on 30th October 2019 reinstated the cut material.
Notable dialogue[]
Phyllis Pearce: "By gum, I've met some tight people in my time Alf Roberts, but you make a fish's bum look like t'Mersey Tunnel."
