Plot[]
Depressed Derek finds some consolation in listening to Wuthering Heights, saying that he knows how Heathcliff feels. Mavis reads Wuthering Heights, feeling Derek is Cathy and she is Linton. Steve is upset to hear Fiona is going to Tenerife with a load of mates. Rita tries to persuade Mavis to return home as she thinks she's being stupid but Mavis sees herself as desolate. Derek finds out from Angela that her husband Mervyn is trying to get a lot of money from the divorce and that is why he's been cited. The Platts try to entice Nick on a night out in Blackpool to see the illuminations but he refuses to go. Gail is furious to see Don is letting him drink alcohol-free beer. Don thinks she's interfering so he gives Nick another can. Martin is annoyed by Gail's tone and the way she refuses to take Sarah Louise to Blackpool without Nick. Martin storms off to the Rovers. Steve makes the peace with Fiona by giving her his expensive sunglasses. Derek tries to take Mavis out to Haworth but she is furious when he tells her how much Angela has suffered. He tells her that she wants to believe he's having an affair with Angela because she wants a relationship with Roger. Curly tells Raquel he was sacked for sexual harassment. He feels a bad person. She feels nervous in his company but sees he's really upset. She tells him that he's a wonderful person and kisses his cheek before realising she's walked into a trap, telling him no girl could ask for more. He makes it clear he wants a relationship with her.
