Plot[]
Gail is adamant she does not want another child. Vinny finishes his home brew stout and is pleased with the result. Linda goes through Deirdre's personal things in the office. She catches her on the phone to Mike, reading the saucy message Deirdre wrote in Ken's birthday card. Upset and enraged, she resigns. Mike manages to change her mind on the promise that Linda won't cause her any problems in the future. Curly chokes in the cafe, and is saved by Roy thumping his back. The incident disturbs Roy and makes him want to study first aid. Tom stuns Audrey by giving her £500 and asking if he can rent the salon flat. She agrees and is curious as to where he got the money. Vinny sells his stout over the counter with the takings going into a collection for Gary. He calls it Vinny's Velvet. Natalie is impressed by its popularity and agrees to him brewing more. Linda is stunned when Mike sacks her from Underworld.
