Rita offers Judy a job at The Kabin, saying she could keep Katie in the back room. Les smashes a mirror in his house and lets Janice think the ghost did it. Martin tells Gary that he's lucky having an understanding wife to look after his baby. Gary is upset that people think him capable of something he'd never do. Leanne and Toyah mess around with an Ouija board after Toyah makes Leanne help her by telling her about a club that Chris is going to on Wednesday night.
