Maureen is upset at the way in which Reg broke the news of the corner shop sale to Maud. Deirdre refuses to believe that Samir was violent at the airport and worries about him. Raquel feels positive about marrying Curly but is upset that her father doesn't seem interested. Maud boycotts the shop, fed up with no appreciation. Emily hears from the gossips that Samir has deserted Deirdre. Alma urges Ken to get on with his life without Denise but he hurts too much. Deirdre asks Alf to help Samir but he doesn't want to get involved. She misses having Emily to turn to. She is furious when Liz advises her not to fight for Samir any more; he's brought her nothing but trouble. Deirdre asks Ken for advice but he tells her that it's not his problem. Cliff hints to Jack that he's got a stash of money. Deirdre is delighted when Emily calls round to comfort her. When she hears Samir has not deserted her Emily says it would be best if Samir did go back to Morocco. Deirdre begs her to help and give her money to fight for Samir but Emily refuses.
