Plot[]
Alma accuses Mike of petty-mindedness over the furniture. Liz starts work at Skinner's Bookies, keeping her job at the Rovers on for evening work. Mike tells the police all about Ken wanting his furniture. The policeman, P.C. Bathurst, turns out to be an ex-pupil of Ken's and is sympathetic as he can be to his cause. Betty is furious when Audrey makes catty remarks about her weight. Bet is annoyed to hear that Sean has employed Liz. Liz assures Bet that she'll still work evenings but Bet is disappointed as she wanted someone on call whilst Betty was mayoressing. PC Bathurst suggests to Mike that he and Ken sort it out themselves but Mike insists that Ken is charged and he is taken in to make a statement. Steve is alarmed when he phones up with a bet and Liz takes it. Roger Crompton and Mavis enrol for more art classes. Roger is keen to know how Rita feels about him, telling Mavis he's very fond of Rita and wants to tell her so. Jealous Mavis tells him that Rita cannot have a platonic relationship with a man. The police tell Ken they have no intention of pressing any charges. Andy's car needs work doing on it before it will pass its MOT. Mike tells the pub full of customers how Ken broke into No.1 and stole his furniture. Ken nearly thumps him when Mike challenges him about his two week-old bastard. Bet intervenes and stops the fight. Ken is pleased to see Tracy who reminds him it's her eighteenth birthday tomorrow. She asks for a financial present and is horrified when he only offers her £50. She demands £100 which annoys him. He is upset that she only came for money, not to see him or Daniel. She slams out, telling him that he can keep his money for his illegitimate son.
