Plot[]
Nick helps out at the cafe and takes an interest in Fiona and Maxine upstairs. Alma is amused and gets him to take some milk up to the girls. Nick tells the girls that he's sixteen but backtracks when they invite him to move in with them. Roy asks Tricia if she's the same as Deirdre; one of Mike's women. She tells him to get lost. Denise experiments with colours in the house, wanting to brighten it up. Alec offers Steve £5,000 to leave Vicky alone. Percy is saddened when Bill tells him that Elaine left him for a German. Tricia gossips with Audrey that Mike and Deirdre are very close. Derek feels sure that everyone is laughing at him behind his back. Denise tells Ken about the gossip over Mike and Deirdre. Ken isn't surprised by the gossip but knows Deirdre too well to believe there's any truth in it.
