Plot
Kevin is annoyed when Sally spends Sunday working with Mike. Judy tells Gary she isn't pregnant and he wonders if he's sterile. Deirdre feels Ken is taking it for granted that she'll move into No.1 with him. He thinks it's because the house has bad memories for her and suggests he sells up and they buy somewhere together. She tells him it isn't just the house; she doesn't want to live with him. She is dismayed when he is upset that she won't take the risk. Sean is pleased when Samantha invites him round to No.7 for a meal, until he realises Curly will also be there. Ken tells Deirdre he's furious with her and accuses her of using him as therapy to get over Samir. She tells him that's the worst thing he's ever said to her and storms out. Alma is embarrassed when Roy tells her he wants to buy the cafe. Gary suggests to Judy that they have fertility tests. She thinks it's just down to luck. Sally admires the way Mike manages to sell all his goods round the markets. Roy tells Mike and Alma he's got £30,000 to buy the cafe but they don't believe him and humour him. Mike thinks he's crazy. Ken gets drunk and tells Sue that he and Deirdre don't have a future. She is pleased to hear he's a free man again and joins him in a drink, agreeing with him that she wishes something had happened between them in Southport. Samantha tells Sean that she doesn't enjoy sex and that is why she left her husband. She tells him she'd understand if he wanted to give up on her. Deirdre feels bad about rowing with Ken and wants to clear it up as he's her best friend. She calls at No.1 only to find Ken in bed with Sue. Ken is dismayed.
