Plot[]
Maureen refuses to let Reg step foot out of the shop. Des puts his "For Sale" sign back up. Lester tries to lure Vera away from Jack, offering her a bungalow in Filey. Vera fights the temptation. Denise is distraught over the baby. Mike is bothered by letters from the Spanish Government. He ignores them thinking that they're after him for tax on his land. Vera is stunned when Lester is sacked. He packs and tells Vera he's going to Filey and begs her to come with him. She refuses and waves him off, promising him that she'll never forget him. Raquel signs up for another modelling course in Croydon to get away from Des. Maureen is furious when Reg escapes whilst she's in the stockroom. Des asks Raquel to accept his apology but she refuses to forgive him. She tells him that she'll get over her pain but he'll always have to live with who he really is. Curly sees him off. Reg reveals his plan to Maureen - sell the shop and flat as Eric Firman has offered him a job running his freezer business. She is furious that he hasn't consulted her. Vera returns home. Denise tells Ken she's had a scan and there's another baby still alive and well - she was expecting twins.
