Plot[]
Bet gives Vicky a hard time, insisting she returns to school. Mavis blames herself for the accident but Derek insists it was the machine's fault. Tricia applies for jobs. Audrey struggles to keep Fred at arm's-length as he's keen for them to grow closer. Bet asks Vicky to take her exams but Vicky feels there's no point; she's got so much money she doesn't need a job. Liz is pleased when Sean drops the three months' trial and tells her the job is hers permanently. Steve lets Liz believe he's no longer betting whilst doing his gambling in other betting shops. Vicky threatens to leave the Rovers if Bet won't accept her decision. Liz tells Bet now her job's safe at Skinner's she won't be working at the Rovers any more. Bet offers Tricia the job of cleaning the pub but Tricia feels it's beneath her. Derek brings Norris back home to see injured Mavis. He tries to get Mavis to admit she was at fault but Derek protects her. Curly bumps into Tricia but avoids taking her for a drink. Norris tries out the Wiltons' Mile Muncher and finds it isn't faulty. He insists Mavis can't have used it correctly but Derek tells him that he wants compensation. Tricia changes her mind and takes the cleaning job. Vicky apologises to Bet for threatening to leave and invites her to meet with Dr Carr to talk about her future. She feels certain she can count on Carr's support.
