Plot[]
Mary Docherty tells Ken that she married Jon when he was calling himself James Anderson. He posed as an airline pilot and left her with £17,000 of debts. She tells him that she wants to help put Jon behind bars. Deirdre can't cope with being put in the prison hospital and is sedated when she becomes hysterical. Ken introduces Mary to Mike and he brings in Frankie, eager to get Deirdre released. Jack complains of pains in his leg but Vera thinks he's acting up. Greg shows Les a photograph of his mother at her villa in Majorca. Les is taken with the rich, beautiful Moira and can't help comparing her with dowdy Janice. Leanne is pleased she's got a good looking half-brother. Greg is attracted to Maxine and introduces himself to her. She is charmed and agrees to go to a nightclub with him. Mike tries to ring Deirdre with the good news and leaves a message with Warden Veitch. Steve is thrilled when Fiona tells him that she wants him to live with her. Alma accuses Mike of wanting to be Deirdre's knight in shining armour and moves into the spare room. Veitch deliberately doesn't pass Mike's message on.
