Plot[]
Steve encourages Fiona to plan a night out, saying he'll fix her up with a babysitter. Deirdre moves in with the Baldwins, grateful for their support. Spider plays whale music outside Firman's, flooding the store with noise. Toyah and Emily join his protest, carrying banners. Toyah gets upset when Spider refuses to let her take direct action at the store, saying she's a useless liability. Alma feels uncomfortable sharing her home with Mike's ex-girlfriend. Judy urges Gary to end his partnership with Jim and get work from Steve as he's not got any work and they need the money. Jim is disappointed but understands. Rachel and Steve look after Morgan so Fiona can go out. When Hayley calls on Roy asking for his friendship he asks her to leave him alone. Samantha calls on Chris and is frustrated when he chooses an evening in on his own rather than inviting her to join him.
