Plot[]
Unconscious Jim is rushed to hospital. Steve worries that he's killed him. Ashley tries to keep Zoe occupied by getting her to help out at the shop. When no one's looking she steals money from the till. When Ashley finds they're down £40, Zoe suggests Maud is getting confused and she has the grace to feel guilty when he gives her £10 wages. The police investigate Jim's accident. Steve tells them Jim fell off the scaffolding whilst drunk. Liz breaks down when she hears Jim's unconscious. Jack buys a pipe to smoke but Vera refuses to let him use it. Martin suggests he tries hypnotherapy. Des tells Natalie that he's had enough with relationships. She tells him it's obvious to her that he is a very lonely person and she'd like to be his friend. Zoe and Leanne have a great time out clubbing. Doctor Cole warns Steve and Liz that Jim may never regain consciousness.
